Project Details
Come on down the rabbit hole with us as we answer real questions from visitors to President Lincoln's Cottage that we wish we could spend a half hour answering. We always start with Lincoln and the Cottage, but we often end up in unexpected places. Listen to our Q & Abe podcast to learn more about President Lincoln’s life, the issues he grappled with, and the topics that are still relevant today.

Q&Abe was created entirely in-house by President Lincoln's Cottage staff. As of early 2021, the project consists of 11 full-length episodes of about 30 minutes each, plus 12 bonus episodes averaging 10 minutes apiece. Each full length episode takes about 45 hours of staff time to create (interviewing, recording, scripting, editing, producing).
