In this episode: Who Tim and Andrea are (married, competitive, self-described "non-historians") The idea behind the show: telling the story of America through 250 years of objects, from a rushed printer's broadside to a rock from another world How episodes will work, one object per episode, plus the running debate between two people who don't always agree on what it means What's coming up first: Episode 1 will be a birth certificate.
