National parks, the New Deal, Hitler's defeat... As a family, the Roosevelts can lay claim to some of history's most important developments. This hour we'll preview a new Ken Burns documentary about the famous trio: Teddy, Franklin, and Eleanor. We'll talk about the progressive legacies of two presidents, and a first lady against whom all others are measured.
