Who exactly was our first president? Post reporters Bob Woodward and Joel Achenbach, and Julie Miller from the Library of Congress kick off our first episode of Presidential, examining George Washington's traits—from fearless action hero and charismatic dancer to insecure and reluctant president. The Washington Post's “Presidential” podcast explores how each former American president reached office, made decisions, handled crises and redefined the role of commander-in-chief. Hosted by Lillian Cunningham, the series features Pulitzer Prize-winning biographers like David McCullough and Washington Post journalists like Bob Woodward.
