Hannah Van Buren never lived to see her husband take the oath of office as the eighth president of the United States. Passing away decades before he hit the national stage, very little is known about the woman who would have become the first First Lady to be born a United States citizen.
Instead, Van Buren came to rely on his daughter in-law, Angelica Singleton Van Buren.
Both of these women played important roles in Van Buren's life, however very little is known about either of them.
Tune in this week as I cover both Hannah Van Buren and Angelica Singleton Van Buren. Who were they? And why don't we know more?

This is the Zodiac Speaking (Part One)

One of the most infamous crime sprees in United States history, the man who would be known as the Zodiac terrified the sleepy Northern California community in the late sixties. Taunting police with letters and coded messages, the Zodiac has never been caught.
A topic that was one of my first listener requests, I thought it fitting to discuss the details of this case and review why the Zodiac continues to fascinate people over fifty years later. Thanks to Amanda for making the request and I hope you all enjoy part one!
