PBS News Launches New Podcast Series

PBS News has introduced a new podcast titled In Pursuit of Happiness. This series consists of six episodes and is hosted by Judy Woodruff. The podcast delves into the people, culture, and ideas that have played a significant role in shaping the United States.

The first episode features a discussion with presidential historian Lindsay Chervinsky. She offers a fresh perspective on George Washington and his belief in the importance of having diverse viewpoints around him. This approach, according to Chervinsky, contributed to making Washington a stronger leader.
