A Bull Moose Gets Shot (1912) w/ Alex Schmidt

It’s October 13th. On this day in 1912 (well, technically the 14th), Teddy Roosevelt is shot as he’s on his way to a speech in Milwaukee. He still gave the speech.

Jody and Niki are joined by Alex Schmidt to discuss the incident, the wild election of 1912, and violence in politics.

Alex’s podcast is called “Secretly Incredibly Fascinating” and is available wherever you get your podcasts.
