It our first bonus episode of 2021 - bye 2020, out with the old, in with the new. This new year brings a new US president, and to mark the occasion, Barry takes us on a walk down memory lane to past US presidential inaugurations. We hear tales of dead pigeons, frozen champagne, faltering poets and absent wives.
