The first podcast of the Miami Book Fair series dropped this weekend Sat., Nov. 17 and features Pete Souza, the Chief Official White House Photographer for U.S. Presidents Ronald Regan and Barack Obama. His most recent book, Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents, is a powerful tribute to a bygone era of integrity in politics. Shade is a portrait in Presidential contrasts, telling the tale of the Obama and Trump administrations through a series of visual juxtapositions.
