15 Minutes with Lincoln

15 Minutes with Lincolnsoundcloud.com
Tim Dunn traveled down to Springfield, IL to tour Lincoln's birth home and get some perspective on the current election, and Abraham Lincoln happened to be there. Then he agreed to do a weekly podcast with Tim covering the events of the week, but only for 15 minutes at a time. Tim, a Chicago-based comedian, is probably not the best guy to have exclusive access to our 16th President, but he’s going to do his best. Sometimes Honest Abe gets a bit distracted with modernity (you should have seen his face the first time he tried Chipotle) but he does his best to give his perspective on today’s events, often using his real opinions from 1865. He is not played by Bryan Duff.
