His belief that ordinary people change the world. It is that core belief that runs through every one of his projects. In episode twenty - six of the Chasing Earhart podcast, Brad joins us from his book tour for "I Am Harriet Tubman" to talk with us about why he chose Amelia to kick off his hugely popular children’s series and to give us his thoughts on why the world is so fascinated by both Amelia’s life and her disappearance.
