The Vigilantes

Secrets, Scandal, and the Search for Justice

Here's Where It Gets Interesting introduces a brand new series that follows a shocking 1913 trial in Atlanta that was the catalyst for the birth of the modern KKK, and exposed deep divides across the nation.

Was the right man arrested? Did he really do it? And did he get the fair trial he was entitled to? The Vigilantes uncovers the truth amongst the lies, in its search for justice.

Begins March 18 with new episodes released every Monday.

I host one of the largest online book clubs and private groups, which includes so much more than reading books. Join us in the Governerd Insider community to get:

  • Access to a private instagram account where I participate every day
  • Historic deep dives on topics you’ve probably never learned
  • Monthly in-depth live workshops
  • Live Zoom hangouts, where I answer your questions
  • The chance to hear from the authors themselves

I’ve done workshops on everything from the lives of presidents and first ladies to modern day cults.

We’ve recently spoken with notable authors like Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson, who wrote The Warmth of Other Suns, and David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon.
