Gumption

The stories of these daring figures are so diverse and bold — I wonder what sparked Offerman's fascination with them and how he chose which ones to include.

The comedic tone really humanized these legendary figures, but I wonder if that tone made others see history in a new, more approachable light.

It’s tricky to keep the tone light while respecting the gravity of their actions. I’d love to know how he decided where to draw that line.
