liz, you have this podcast, "ben franklin's world," in which you touch on everything from the relationship of massachusetts and nova scotia to how the bill of rights came about. do you have any thoughts on how people at opposite ends, who were creating this country, or the political institutions of this country, were able to get beyond gridlock when they had gridlock? liz: i think that is the age-old question. when you look at the scope of american history, you are dealing with a lot of different eople and a lot of political entities, cultures, different religions, all trying to get along. it is trying to find the art of compromise. you can see this in the life of ben franklin. he was not perfect. his son was a loyalist, he was a patriot and never forgive william for it. so it divided his family, he was not able to find compromise there. but he is at the constitutional convention saying, hey, i want a unified legislature. i think democracy is a good thing, people should have the right to vote, but a lot of the states are worried about the people voting and the mob. he advocates for compromise and one of the things he advocates for is par

franklin. that didn't mean he was boring. we tend to think of him as the marble bust or the picture on the one dollar bill. that's not who he was. he had a lot of passions. he loved to read. he loved theater. he loved music, dancing. he loved riding horses. he loved dogs. these are the things that make up who he was just like our passions make up who we are today. he also had a great sense of humor, which is sometimes under appreciated. after he retired, he went home. they had these big meals almost every day because he was hosting guests every day that were coming to see him. his favorite hound was a big hound named vulcan. he came in and basically stole the ham that was sitting on the dining room table and dragged it out of the room and ran outside with it. martha was furious. she had ordered this dinner prepared. washington thought it was hysterical and bust out laughing and thought it was the funniest thing. i love telling that story because, it shows he loved dogs, but it shows he was a real person. he enjoyed humorous things. >> wonderful. thank you for that. >> if i could -- >> let me just -- you ca
