Speaker 1: I'm Vivian and I created a business with my friends
Speaker 1: selling cat puppets. Oh whoa, Okay, we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: go into this little bit. We need to break this
Speaker 1: down because I want to know everything I can possibly
Speaker 1: know about this cat business. So first of all, I
Speaker 1: love it because we have a little head to head competition.
Speaker 1: We have a dog person and a cat person pets.
Speaker 1: I love that. So tell us more about this um
Speaker 1: cat puppet business. Um, how did you decide to start it?
Speaker 1: What is it call? Um? It's called Margaret and Clouds
Speaker 1: where kittens are made and basically, um, it started being
Speaker 1: in theater class. When you're making our paperback puppets. My
Speaker 1: friend needed a prop cat, so I made it four
Speaker 1: of them and uh one of our friends liked it.
Speaker 1: So now we have a business. Wow, well that is
Speaker 1: so exciting. And f y I theo who was podcast
Speaker 1: is looking for sponsors. So Market and Clouds is looking
Speaker 1: to sponsor a history quiz show. We are open to that.
Speaker 1: I have a question, how how much does a cat
Speaker 1: puppet go for? How much are you charging for these? Um?
Speaker 1: Kittens cost about a dollar fifty and adults cost around
Speaker 1: to fifty with other other customize fool things included with
Speaker 1: extra money. Yeah, and I'm guessing hairballs or a strap
Speaker 1: because they always are. It's the guacamole of cat puppets.
Speaker 1: It's always little extra. Yeah. You never you didn't want
Speaker 1: it there, but it's there, but it's coming, but it's there. Yeah, yeah, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you both so much. Thank you, and thank you
Speaker 1: to Eric, our musician, for providing that lovely Meet the
Speaker 1: Contestants music and all the music on the show today.
Speaker 1: So that's who is. Now let's find out who was
Speaker 1: Eleanor Roosevelt with four fast facts. She was in the
Speaker 1: White House from ninety three to ninety five and is
Speaker 1: the longest serving First Lady. Helped to draft the Universal
Speaker 1: Declaration of Human Rights, represented her husband, President f DR
Speaker 1: throughout the world and got the nickname everywhere. Eleanor fought
Speaker 1: for equality and to bring an end to segregation in
Speaker 1: the United States. Also, I should mention she was the
Speaker 1: one of the founders of Brandeis University, where my wife
Speaker 1: went to college. Oh go Owls. It's not the team
Speaker 1: that they have, But there's so much more to learn
Speaker 1: about Eleanor that we simply must get to our next game.
Speaker 1: We don't have time to correct you about what the
Speaker 1: team name at Brandeis University is. Here's our game. It's
Speaker 1: something we call by any other name, you know, like
Speaker 1: a Roosevelt by any other name. Thank you. I'll be
Speaker 1: here all week unless I figure out how this door works.
Speaker 1: In this game, we will describe something from Eleanor's life,
Speaker 1: but using an odd rhyming word or phrase instead of
Speaker 1: the exact one we're looking for. You must decipher what
Speaker 1: she's saying and tell us what she means. Aya, you're
Speaker 1: upe first, okay I. Eleanor's father died when she was
Speaker 1: a child, but his brother, her funcle Petty, always doated
Speaker 1: on the young Eleanor and would one day walk her
Speaker 1: down the aisle at her wedding. Okay, So, Eleanor's father
Speaker 1: died when she was a child, but her uncle teddy.
Speaker 1: Ohay is that's great. You don't have to remember the
Speaker 1: whole sentence. That's great. We're just looking for the one word.
Speaker 1: So you got it right because the word we were
Speaker 1: replacing was f uncle petty, and you had said uncle Teddy,
Speaker 1: way to go. That's right, Uncle Teddy Teddy Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt,
Speaker 1: who was at the time of her wedding the President
Speaker 1: of the United States. Uncle petty also sounds like something
Speaker 1: you might want to get looked at if it's on
Speaker 1: your feet, Maybe get a doctor in some kind of
Speaker 1: cream for that. Our next question is we're Vivian Eleanor
Speaker 1: was nervous about attending this big party or restaurant mall
Speaker 1: where young sons and daughters of New York society make
Speaker 1: their official entrance onto the social scene. Do you mean
Speaker 1: coming out ball? Well, accept it. We would have accepted
Speaker 1: debutante ball or coming out ball. Eleanor came from a
Speaker 1: very wealthy New York family, and this was a write
Speaker 1: of passage at the time for all young ladies from
Speaker 1: such families. Okay, the next question is for I again.
Speaker 1: All right. In first, lady Eleanor attended a conference with
Speaker 1: her friend, the African American educator Mary McLoyd Bethoon. But
Speaker 1: the two we are not allowed to sit next to
Speaker 1: each other because of segregation laws in the state of Chaska.
Speaker 1: Grandma was that Alabama. They're right, No, that's exactly it.
Speaker 1: Don't ETN give us another answer. You've got the answer
Speaker 1: is Alabama. Eleanor sat in a chair she plays in
Speaker 1: the aisle between the two sections as a protest of
Speaker 1: Alabama's segregation laws. It was a small gesture Eleanor used
Speaker 1: to point out inequality between the people in our nation. Okay,
Speaker 1: next question for Vivian. Eleanor made herself accessible throughout FDR's
Speaker 1: political career. She visited impoverished areas to bring awareness and
Speaker 1: reached millions of others through her newspaper column, which was
Speaker 1: entitled Pie Sway. Newspaper column was entitled my Day. That's
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, that's it my day. Although Pie Sway
Speaker 1: would be a great column where I guess she would
Speaker 1: convince people to like kinds of pie that they didn't
Speaker 1: like already. Yeah, or would be a good band name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. The public felt they knew Eleanor, and she
Speaker 1: received more mail than anyone else at the White House,
Speaker 1: which is pretty impressive considering the President also lived at
Speaker 1: the White House. Even more shocking and impressive, she responded
Speaker 1: to all of the letters. I don't know how she
Speaker 1: did anything else, frankly by any other name, any other
Speaker 1: And that's the end of the game. Well played game everyone, Producer, Jane,
Speaker 1: will you please let us know the scores? Well, Elliott
Speaker 1: Aya and Vivian fock Hard just like Eleanor, and they
Speaker 1: both have two points. Excellent, You've got a tie game.
Speaker 1: That means that the game has to continue. That's right
Speaker 1: for everyone who hoped the episode would ends now, too bad,
Speaker 1: it's going to thank you. You've got more. Who was podcast?
Speaker 1: Was show? So let's keep the show moving and learn
Speaker 1: about Sojourner Truth with four fast facts. Her given name
Speaker 1: was Isabella bomb Free. She changed to sojourn Her Truth
Speaker 1: in eighteen forty three because she felt it was her
Speaker 1: religious obligation to go forth and speak the truth. She
Speaker 1: want to land to mark lawsuit for the right to
Speaker 1: her son's freedom. She was an early human rights crusader.
Speaker 1: She is the first African American woman to have a
Speaker 1: statue in the Capitol Building. Prospects. Now, this is usually

Speaker 1: my name basically means to travel and tell the truth,
Speaker 1: and it's how I earned my nickname. Everywhere Eleanor join
Speaker 1: us every week as we relive some of our biggest moments,
Speaker 1: like when I was a black woman and working class
Speaker 1: women and eighteen fifty one women's movement, which was unconventional
Speaker 1: in and of itself, spoke at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio.
Speaker 1: The organizers weren't too happy about me speaking because they
Speaker 1: didn't want to confuse the abolitionists and the women's movement. Yes,
Speaker 1: but I ended up giving the most famous speech of
Speaker 1: the event. It's now known as the an I a
Speaker 1: Woman's Speech. Wow, that's amazing, that's impressive. Yes, And sometimes
Speaker 1: we talk about breaking conventions, like the convention I broke
Speaker 1: when I resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution
Speaker 1: because they refused to let opera singer Mary and Anderson
Speaker 1: perform at Constitution Hall because she was black, And the
Speaker 1: way I turned the convention of selling books on its
Speaker 1: head by traveling across the US and giving speeches about
Speaker 1: my life to crowds. We talked about how unconventional it
Speaker 1: was for a first lady have a cause until I
Speaker 1: took office, or how unconventional it was for presidents to
Speaker 1: meet with black women in my time. But I met
Speaker 1: the three after they heard about my important work helping
Speaker 1: the black community. Wow, that's a lot of accomplishments. That's
Speaker 1: just the first season. We've signed on for a twelve
Speaker 1: season deal. Yes, in all twelve seasons brought to you
Speaker 1: by Triangle Space. What are you waiting for? Triangle Space
Speaker 1: makes building a website far easier than building an equitable

Speaker 1: Who Was Podcast. Today we're learning all about Eleanor Roosevelt
Speaker 1: and Sojourner Truth. When we last left off, Aya had
Speaker 1: two points and Videan had two points. It's a tie.
Speaker 1: And now here's your host, Elliott Kaylin. Thank you be
Speaker 1: Let's see how long this tie lasts. And thank you
Speaker 1: to our special guest, Sojourner Truth was made. Time to
Speaker 1: play our next game. It's called true or false? False, false,
Speaker 1: a false? Or is a true? It is a true
Speaker 1: that it is false? It was true or true? True
Speaker 1: or false? A lot of questions and we're gonna need
Speaker 1: some answers, our wonderful guests to journal. Will we be
Speaker 1: reading the questions for one point each. You let us
Speaker 1: know if it's sojourn or truth or the Journal or false. Vivian,
Speaker 1: you are up first. True or false. The place in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Where I helped formally enslaved people build community
Speaker 1: and learned skills was called the Northampton Association. True. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry that's false. It was called the Freedman's Hospital. It's
Speaker 1: just one way. So journal helped formally enslave people build
Speaker 1: new lives after the Civil War. Don't worry, there's lots
Speaker 1: of questions coming up I have. This next question is
Speaker 1: for you. If Elizabeth Caddy Staton tells you that it
Speaker 1: was her idea to push for equal pay for women,
Speaker 1: don't believe her. It was my idea. Um, it was true. True. Yes,
Speaker 1: As a black woman and working class woman, I knew
Speaker 1: firsthand how important a equality would be for women to
Speaker 1: reach equal ground in the US. Okay, the next question
Speaker 1: is for Vivian. Most people know my an I Woman's speech,
Speaker 1: but the phrase our nerves sing us, our tears and
Speaker 1: blood have been sacrificed on the altar of this nation's
Speaker 1: avarice is from a different speech known as the d
Speaker 1: Day Speech because it was given on the first day
Speaker 1: of December. True. False. Yeah, that snippet is from a
Speaker 1: speech I gave to Congress after President Grant did not
Speaker 1: give me the help I needed to pass my land
Speaker 1: Grant proposal. No, thank you, Grant. You'd think you would
Speaker 1: have done it. His name is Grant. It's a land
Speaker 1: Grand proposal. Every ay, buddy's a winner. Unfortunately, no, ayah,
Speaker 1: This last question is for you. I was able to
Speaker 1: bring my son Peter from enslavement in Alabama to New
Speaker 1: York through a daring rescue with my Quaker friends, in
Speaker 1: an operation we called quake my Day. False. That is both.
Speaker 1: I filed a lawsuit against the man who had sold
Speaker 1: him across state lines. She was the first black woman
Speaker 1: to win a lawsuit of this kind in the United States.
Speaker 1: You know what, But now you have the phrase quake
Speaker 1: my day. I hope you can use it for something cool.
Speaker 1: And that's the end of the round. True true, true,
Speaker 1: fault and that's true or false. Let's go to producer
Speaker 1: Jane with the scores. Jane, quake my Day? What the scores?
Speaker 1: I am too, Elliott by telling you that Aya has
Speaker 1: four points and Vivian two, so I is a head,
Speaker 1: but it's still a very close game. True. That's so truth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but is that is the sojournal truth? Speaking of sojourner truth.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here with us. Oh
Speaker 1: you know what, it is my pleasure. I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know I have to get going soon.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to ask the contestants if you could
Speaker 1: come up with a fantastic name for yourself like, Sojournal Truth? Uh,
Speaker 1: what would that name be? So I Vivian if you
Speaker 1: had to come up with a new name for yourself,
Speaker 1: maybe one that describes what you hope to do. Maybe, um,
Speaker 1: I really want to be an actress when I grew up.
Speaker 1: Maybe like I actress? I actor. I like that, Dramaya
Speaker 1: maybe like drum like drama. Oh yeah, I kind of
Speaker 1: like that. And Vivian, what do you think of your friends?
Speaker 1: Just call me fluffy hair but your friends are It
Speaker 1: sounds like you've got the name already. That's a great
Speaker 1: I mean, fluffy hair cat puppet is a pretty great
Speaker 1: is a pretty fantastic name, right yeah? And it looks
Speaker 1: great on a a business card Fluffy hair cat puppet Esquire.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so as you're a lawyer now, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think Esquire is always a good thing to put
Speaker 1: on a business card, whether it's true or not. That well,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, it's a good time for the Journal
Speaker 1: Truth to say goodbye. If we're if we're doubting the
Speaker 1: very nature of truth, be okay, never doubt the truth.
Speaker 1: Just thank you all so much for having me, And
Speaker 1: thanks again? Who was apt more? And now the rest
Speaker 1: of us at the Who Was Podcast are going to
Speaker 1: say goodbye to but it's only for a moment. We'll
Speaker 1: be right just back after this break with more Who Was? Eric?
Speaker 1: Play us some quick my day in music? Please don't
Speaker 1: confuse us with the Shakers Sally? Who was? Marie Curie?
Speaker 1: You may remember me from winning multiple Nobel Prizes off
Speaker 1: fapts from my pisode of the Who Worst Podcast where
Speaker 1: I played myself. I wanted to take a moment to

Speaker 1: review read on the air, make sure to subscribe, like,
Speaker 1: and review to the OAS Podcasts in the I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio up or wherever you get your podcasts. Revoir or
Speaker 1: should I stay abien to Welcome back to the Who Was? Podcast? Today?
Speaker 1: Who was eleanor Roosevelt? And who was sojourn or True?
Speaker 1: When we last left off, Aya had four points and
Speaker 1: Vivian had two points. Back to our host Ellie Klin,
Speaker 1: thank you be As we head into our next and
Speaker 1: final segment, it's really still anyone's game because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of points to be had in this one. Contestants
Speaker 1: get ready to play Converge of Greatness. So inspiring. Now,
Speaker 1: both Sojourner and Eleanor had incredible lives, and in this
Speaker 1: multiple choice game, you'll tell us where they connect, overlap
Speaker 1: or converge. And because recovering two times the history, this
Speaker 1: game is worth two times the points. That's two points
Speaker 1: for each question. So let's get started with the first
Speaker 1: question for Aya take it away? Be all right? Aya.
Speaker 1: Eleanor Roosevelt went to school in Europe and learned fluent French.
Speaker 1: But Sojourner Truth spoke multiple languages too. As a young girl.
Speaker 1: What was sojoenn Or Truth's first language? Was it a Dutch?
Speaker 1: Be English or see the thracky um. It was a Dutch.
Speaker 1: That's right, it was a Dutch. Because her family was
Speaker 1: enslaved by Dutch immigrants. She grew up speaking Dutch and
Speaker 1: struggled to learn English as she grew ale, or, eventually
Speaker 1: learning English so well that she became a brilliant public speaker.
Speaker 1: Doth Raki is, of course a made up language, though
Speaker 1: in a way aren't all languages made up? Next? Question
Speaker 1: is Ravivian Eleanor in sojourn Or Truth had close relationships
Speaker 1: with their fathers, though they were often separated. Eleanor's father
Speaker 1: was frequently in the hospital because of alcoholism. But why
Speaker 1: did sojourn Or Truth rarely see her father. Was it
Speaker 1: a His work as a traveling salesman kept him on
Speaker 1: the move. B they lived on different metro north lines
Speaker 1: or see Sojourner was taken from her family as a
Speaker 1: young girl and sold at an auction see Yet answer
Speaker 1: is correct, though Sojourner's father was no longer his enslaved himself,
Speaker 1: he didn't have the money to free her when she
Speaker 1: was young. Slavery wouldn't end in New York State for
Speaker 1: another twenty one years, and not in the whole United
Speaker 1: States until June sixty five, which we now commemorate on juneteenth. Okay,
Speaker 1: the next question is for Ayah. As we know, sojourn
Speaker 1: Or Truth and Eleanor Roosevelt were regulars at conventions and conferences.
Speaker 1: Sojourner was a regular at women's rights conventions and Eleanor
Speaker 1: Roosevelt fought for human rights as a member of the
Speaker 1: biggest convention in the world. Was it a the World Court,
Speaker 1: be the United Nations or see the Galactic Federation. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was the the United Nations. That's right, the the
Speaker 1: United Nations. Eleanor was one of the first American delegates,
Speaker 1: which is just a fancy word for people that America
Speaker 1: sent to represent America. One of the first American delegates
Speaker 1: to the United Nations. She was also the first chairperson
Speaker 1: of the U N's Commission on Human Rights. And now
Speaker 1: the next question is for Vivian Eleanor was the niece
Speaker 1: of President Theodore Roosevelt and the wife of f DR.
Speaker 1: But sojourn Or Truth met a lot of presidents too.
Speaker 1: Which of the following presidents did she not ask to
Speaker 1: sign an autograph in her book of Life? Was it
Speaker 1: a Abraham Lincoln, b Ulysses S. Grant or c Andrew Johnson.
Speaker 1: I think it was c Andrew Johnson. You're right, the
Speaker 1: answer is c Andrew Johnson. She got Lincoln and Grant signatures,
Speaker 1: but she passed on getting Johnson's because she just didn't
Speaker 1: like him from the start, just didn't like him. Book
Speaker 1: of Life more like a book of Burne. Am I right?
Speaker 1: And that beautiful music means it's the end of the game.
Speaker 1: While we wait for Jane to tell you the scores,
Speaker 1: I'd like to ask our contestants was there anything that
Speaker 1: really stuck out to them in learning about these two
Speaker 1: famous figures, some things that really they found memorable or surprising.
Speaker 1: Let's start with you. Well, I think I've heard of
Speaker 1: Eleanor Roosevelt a lot more than so Gender Truth, Like
Speaker 1: I heard of like Harriet Tubman a lot more than
Speaker 1: so Jenner Truth. But I feel like I felt like
Speaker 1: it was really really fun learning about both of them.
Speaker 1: And there are so many stuff I like, was like
Speaker 1: amazed by. I learned a lot more about sogn Or
Speaker 1: Truth learning about this, Like I didn't know that she
Speaker 1: had a land grant proposal to help reparations. I had
Speaker 1: no idea she was involved in that. It's really interesting.
Speaker 1: That was really cool. And I also watched the a't
Speaker 1: iowoman's speech and I thought that was really amazing. That's great.
Speaker 1: I thank you, Vivian. Is there anything about either of
Speaker 1: our historical figures that really jumped out to you? Well,
Speaker 1: I knew more more about sojourn Or Truth than I
Speaker 1: do that I did about Eleanor Roosevelt because I read
Speaker 1: the sojourn Or truth one before, but in the Eleanor
Speaker 1: Roosevelt one, I was surprised to hear that she was
Speaker 1: part of the United Nations. I was surprised about that too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that she's someone who just because of her words and
Speaker 1: her ideas and her compassion for other people, became such
Speaker 1: a worldwide global figure. It's very it's very impressive and
Speaker 1: very amazing. And she's another person where you watched video
Speaker 1: of her speeches and they just they just completely overwhelm you. Nice. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you both so much for sharing. Yes, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. And now it's time for the big moment.
