Ep. 4: What's Hidden Underneath the Famous White House Press Room
-

Most people know the White House Press Room as the place where reporters ask questions and presidents make announcements.
What most people don’t know is that hidden beneath the floor is something completely unexpected… a swimming pool.
Built in 1933 for President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of his physical therapy, the pool remained there for decades before it was eventually covered over and transformed into the Press Briefing Room we know today. And here’s the wild part: the pool structure is still there.
As a former White House officer who walked those halls more than 1,000 times, I’ve stood in that room knowing that just beneath my feet was a piece of White House history that most visitors never hear about.
In Episode 4 of Feed Your Curious, we dive into the fascinating story of the hidden swimming pool beneath one of the most famous rooms in America—and why one missing tile still gives away the secret today.
Because sometimes the most interesting stories aren’t in front of you… they’re hiding right underneath your feet. 🇺🇸🎙️
