100 Objects #13: The Sand Letters

Comedian Elliott Kalan joins Roman Mars for the thirteenth installment of the 100 Objects series. The episode centers on the Sand Letters and the surprising story behind them: a politician who owed his rise to a corrupt government system became the one to dismantle it. The catalyst was Julia Isabella Sand, a single correspondent whose letters reached the politician directly. The story examines how one ordinary citizen's personal correspondence could influence someone at the center of power.
