  • Excellent and insightful podcast!

    I love the in-depth conversations with historians and authors about the various Presidents.. Scott Brun and Alan Lowe are excellent hosts and always ask the questions I want to hear answered! I can’t say enough good things about the program. In the future, I’d love to hear more episodes devoted to key figures in various presidential administrations.
