Due to obnoxious audio and technical issues, we are playing a re-run this week of one of our most popular episodes. Hope you enjoy and we will see you next week with a brand new episode!

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing hidden presidential illnesses. Between the fact that most people had no idea during Franklin D. Roosevelt's lifetime that he was paralyzed from the waist down, John F. Kennedy's had chronic back pain and Addison's Disease which would lead to a heavy addiction to painkillers and anti-anxiety medications, OR that it wouldn’t be until after the death of Grover Cleveland that the nation would learn that - while he was president - he had undergone an undercover surgical operation conducted on a private yacht to remove a cancerous tumor.

Because of the pedestal that American Presidents are placed upon, oftentimes these very human illnesses and diseases are hidden from the general public. But they matter. Presidential illnesses can truly change the course of History. In fact, some Historians believe that because of Woodrow Wilson’s series of strokes (many of which he kept hidden for a long period of time), he was unable to fight harder for the United States to join the League of Nations which may have helped to prevent World War II.

This week's episode allows us the flexibility to weave through various people and various time periods. We are going to be spanning the whole length of American Presidents from 1789 to now!
