The Fourth Wall and the Stirrup

"Burke was trying to do what clark bunting asked me to do 20 years later, which is make history interesting for people who otherwise wouldn't give a damn," he says. "Who wis doing that with that level of enthusiasm in a white leisure suit? This is the professor you wish you had suddenly on p b s." 'I felt like burke was a tour guide for, you know, you'd mention the stirrup episode, for example, but a tour guide through the context of this thread,' Ray adds. "'There's something very compelling about that same street, different house' - i feel like it makes it so relatable", Burke concludes.
