Description

This week we're looking at the aftermath of the 1929 Wall St Crash, which signalled the beginning of an era known as: The Great Depression (Merry Christmas!). We'll be looking at the origins of the crash, the US President at the time Herbert Hoover (not Henry, to be clear), plus how Yip Harburg turned to songwriting to pull himself out of debt.
