"Since the Presidential election is in full gear all around us, (Homeschool Freebie of the Day) thought (they’d) take this teachable season to look back at some of the previous residents of our White House.“Mr. President” was a wonderful old time radio program which dramatized little known but fascinating stories of those great men. Frankly, most kids don’t know much more about these past Presidents other than their name, approximate dates, and one or two general facts about their presidency. To most young people today (and us older folks too!), they are just a bunch of funny looking, musty, bewhiskered, hopelessly outdated “old dead guys”. But listening to these classic programs breathes a little life back into this part of our American history and heritage."
"In this week’s episode, we find that this “Mr. President” is an avid hiker and fitness enthusiast — and one day he realizes that most everyone else around him in the government is woefully out of shape. So he begins his crusade to promote physical fitness… a program that continues to this very day. Who was this “Mr. President”? Listen to the story and pay attention to the clues and see if you can guess before his identity is revealed at the end of the program. 30 minute mp3 audio (download size: 7 megs)
