Join Elbert Hubbard as he journeys to the homes of some of the most influential figures in history, from authors and philosophers to politicians and poets. This podcast combines elements of biography, interview, and commentary as Hubbard converses with living subjects about their work and muses about the possible influences of the homes of those who have passed. In this first installment of a 14-volume series, Hubbard reflects upon his own life and those of influential figures like George Eliot, Walt Whitman, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Edison, among others.

Sgt. Steve Maharidge, like many of his generation, hardly ever talked about the war. The only sign he'd served in it was a single black and white photograph of himself and another soldier tacked to the wall of his basement workshop. After Steve Maharidge's death, his son Dale, now an adult, began a 12-year quest to understand his father's preoccupation with the photo. What had happened during the battle for Okinawa, and why had his father remained silent about his experiences and the man in the picture, Herman Mulligan? In his search for answers, Maharidge sought out the survivors of Love Company.
