I really love this podcast. Howard & Jessica are fantastic together and they balance well-executed historical research with offbeat, hilarious stories. I would love in the future to see a few “kid-safe” episodes to share with my kids :-)
Lots of history banter and interesting tidbits presented with humor. The Dorres have made these ‘unprecedented’ times feel a little more precedented given how wacky some of the founders were. Some of their guests have led me further down the rabbit hole of American history, and have given me a pile of authors and reading material to consume! Thank you for sharing your curiosities.

Great premise, hosts, banter, and fascinating subject matter with good research. However: I had to stop listening to it because the “popping” of the Ps was causing too much pain. I’ll try back after they get some mic covers.
I stumbled across this podcast by accident and now I can’t stop recommending it to my fellow history nerds. The premise is fantastic, and I especially appreciate how it dives into lesser-known facts about the presidents—their decisions, personalities, and the roles they played in shaping the foundation of our country. It’s well worth the listen, and honestly, it makes me sound smarter every time I share something I’ve learned. Keep up the great work!
