There's a lot of stuff out there that I know little to nothing about. This podcast takes a deep dive into subject matter with experts on the subject matter being asked to provide primers on diverse subject matter. I'm not too proud to admit my ignorance and hope my listeners will learn a little something along the way (if not merely feel superior as they listen to my foolish questions).

Richard Blackett about the Fugitive Slave Act

Richard Blackett spent 18 years researching his book The Captive's Quest for Freedom: Fugitive Slaves, the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, and the Politics of Slavery. His work was revelatory for me. This interview is the second part of a multi-part series derived from the National Endowment for the Humanities program on Abolition and the Underground Railroad.
