I am Eric Mataxas and this is my show.

You can tell by the title the Eric Mataxas show.

That's really all you need to know.

Actually that's not all you need to know.

Is it to show about everything which means I get to talk about all kinds of fun and interesting stuff.

One of my favorite subjects of course is history.

If you've read my books you know how much I love history.

And I have the privilege of introducing you this hour to the author of a new

Regnery book about John Wilkes Booth.

I think you know who John Wilkes Booth is.

The title of the book is John Wilkes Booth and the women who loved him not a joke.

The author is a rather distinguished man.

Michigan and he has an incredible background and he's on the line right now.
