Our first rating! We discuss how Robert Walpole rose from the disaster of the South Sea Company bubble to control all the levers of power in Parliament, his near-loss to Spenser Compton after the death of George I, and his eventual decline and defeat thanks to a disagreement with Spain over a severed left ear.
Recorded on location in Walpole, Massachusetts in the Stone Room at the Walpole Public Library.
