Founding Son: John Quincy’s America

John Quincy Adams was a one-term president living in the shadow of his father John Adams, America’s second president and a Founding Father. But JQA emerged in his post-presidency as the right man for the right time, serving in Congress, fighting off the slavocracy and laying the groundwork for Abraham Lincoln.

Host Bob Crawford, bassist of the Grammy-nominated band the Avett Brothers, tells the real story behind America’s sixth president. Founding Son features Patrick Warburton as the voice of John Quincy Adams, Nick Offerman as the voice of Andrew Jackson, and Grey DeLisle as the voice of Louisa Adams.
