"Mobituaries": Thomas Paine and the death of a forgotten founding father
How should a podcast honor a largely-unsung Founding Father, more than two centuries after his death? In the case of "Mobituaries with Mo Rocca," a musical production number and comic roast seemed like the most fitting means of paying tribute to Thomas Paine.
Other surprise guests include comedy legend Carl Reiner, and "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!" judge and scorekeeper Bill Kurtis.
After all, make no mistake: No Paine … no gain of Independence!
