Sometimes, truth outpaces even the wildest fiction, especially when it comes to family history.
This week on Here & There, host and producer Liz Beatty tugs on a long-lost thread from her own family’s past — one that unravels into a surprising tale involving a British monarch, a U.S. president, a Canadian railway empire, and yes… a hot dog.

Tune in for a story where lineage meets legend.
