First place, first chair, first in line, first done, first of the year, first time, first home, first arrest.... Americans are obsessed with being "First", but what exactly does "first" mean? Is it the physical presence of being before everyone else? Is it the feeling of accomplishment when your opponents are left in the dust? Is it the fear creeping up on you for the unknown? Or is it the pain of your initial tooth? This program will delve into all the inaugural, premier, virginal, and paramount meanings behind the word "First". Curated by Zefrey Throwell.
