We are obsessed with the presidency at American POTUS. We believe that the 46 imperfect patriots who have held our nation’s highest office all have something to offer today’s electorate – a perspective that appropriately grounds today’s political conversations in truth and context. To help us reveal the many layers of each administration, we’ll be joined by the nation’s most influential historians... more

  • 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.

    The hosts interview guests knowledgeable of the story, issue, and person (POTUS) a... more

  • Oh No!

    Loved this podcast but the last guest (GW biographer) was another loser snowflake. I enjoy history without the opinions of the biographer. Please be weary of who you allow on your show!
