101 - Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement

Well, welcome to the 20th Century!  I’m sure a fair number of those of you who are listening to this were born in the 20th Century, as I was, and the rest of you were born in the 21st century.  I know I’ve usually tried to refer to the centuries by their actual numbers, like the ‘1900’s,’ but now that we are entering the century that we’ve all lived in, I think it also makes sense to use the common designations that we often hear in the media today.  So right now, we are in the 21st century, but many of us also have lived in the 20th century.
