  • Enjoyable, Informative, Thorough and Balanced

    I completely enjoy the depth and thorough coverage of U.S. Presidential history this podcast has. Jerry makes a fantastic host whose passion for presidents and history shines through. He is well read and researched, and brings a breadth of primary and secondary sources to each episode. I also appreciate that he offers his own interpretations and insights to these sources and makes it clear when he is doing so. It’s not a bland recap of a president and the happenings of his administration, but ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Civil War Memory Became a Hidden Weapon in American Politics with Tim Galsworthy
Q: What role did Eisenhower play in the party's internal dynamics, and could a more active stance have shifted the Goldwater clash?
Eisenhower was reluctant to heavily intervene in party factional battles; while some argue a more active endorsement could have shifted dynamics, it might have backfired by driving more voters toward Goldwater, as the internal balance between moderate and conservative wings was delicate.
How Civil War Memory Became a Hidden Weapon in American Politics with Tim Galsworthy
Q: Could you share with us how Goldwater used references to Abraham Lincoln in the early days of the Republican Party to justify his anti-civil rights positions?
Goldwater portrayed Lincoln as a model of conservatism and self-reliance, aligning himself with Lincoln's legacy while arguing against federal overreach; his campaign used Lincoln imagery to frame conservative governance and order, even as some supporters bent Lincoln's memory toward the Lost Cause and regional appeals.
The Century-Long Battle Over Healthcare: Myths, Interests, and Political Cycles with David Blumenthal and James A Morone
Q: Can you tell us more about the origins of health care as an issue debated on the national stage in the US and when it became a presidential issue?
The hundred-year arc began with Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 ambition, intensified under Truman, and evolved through postwar policy debates, with the issue becoming central as presidents sought to respond to public demand for national health coverage, often spurred by political necessity and the desire to frame the welfare state.
Interview with David T Beito, FDR: A New Political Life
Q: How did Eleanor Roosevelt interact with civil rights leaders and influence her husband's policies?
Eleanor was seen as a friend to civil rights leaders, but often found herself unable to persuade her husband to support significant anti-lynching legislation or other policies that would advocate for the rights of African Americans during his presidency.
Interview with David T Beito, FDR: A New Political Life
Q: Can you contrast Roosevelt's response to the banking crisis of 1929 with his eventual actions in 1933?
Initially, Roosevelt was indecisive and ignored critical banking problems, focusing more on political survival than leadership. However, once in office during the 1933 crisis, he took bold actions like declaring a banking holiday to restore confidence.
