Channelling TJ

There is a great site featuring scholar Clay Jenkinson as TJ on the Thomas Jefferson Hour free podcast. He answers reader questions and talks about current events.

Mr. Jenkinson also portrays and Meriwether Lewis and debates Alexander Hamilton.

To ask TJ a question (to be answered on the show) go here.

*UPDATE* Thanks to Steve for his post in the comments section correcting me that Mr. Jenkinson (as Jefferson) debates Alexander Hamilton on occasion, but does not portray him, as I first reported. He also recommends listening to some live performances on iTunes to get a feel for what Mr. Jenkinson has to offer. Thanks, Steve!
