The Conversation
Series produced by Aengus Anderson
A conversation about the future between some of America's most innovative thinkers and you.
What do Pythagoras, Thomas Jefferson, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have in common? The Conversation.

This series attempts to answer that question. Starting in May, 2012, Aengus... Show full description
