  • Worth listening to new ones and old ones again

    Years ago I binged on Presidential and Constitional. I enjoyed and learned so much from both. With the chaos blanketing the news this week, I am relistening to old episodes and delighted with the ones that sneaked in since I stopped listening. Thank you.

  • I love this podcast. And I’m giving it one star.

    I’m a tremendous fan of this podcast. But one notorious mistake has damaged its credibility so badly, that I’m giving it a low rating. At the end of the October 2024 episode, the host contends that if Trump were to win, he would only have four years. While legally true today, we’ve seen in other countries around the world how elected officials find ways to circumvent their own laws to stay in power. Presidential is far better at looking backwards (5 stars). When it comes to assuming what will ha... more

  • I want to love this podcast!!

    I so wish I could listen to this podcast. It’s actually really interesting. I just can’t with the person hosting. The vocal fry. The frequent giggling for no reason. The glottal attack in the middle of words like “certain” (cer-in), “important” (impor-int), “Martin” (Mar-in), etc. It’s like being at a middle school slumber party where someone is talking about presidents. I know it’s a me problem. I’ve tried really hard to listen. I guess I’m just sensitive to how some people talk.

  • Now would be a good time for an episode

    As a huge fan of this podcast, it has the rare chance to look forward instead of backwards. What can we learn from previous assassinations and attempts about how the influence elections? We want to hear from you, Presidential!

  • Good overview of them all.

    I’m up to Harrison and enjoying so far. The content added by each expert is a good addition. I like the format with each prez getting the same amount of time whether they served one term or 4. Just enough to make a listener go find out more if there is one you’re really interested in….or want to go on a blind date with.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS | Women, politics and the presidency
Q: To what extent do you think that women's empowerment in this country has been held back by the fact that we haven't yet had a female president?
I do think that achieving the presidency is something fundamental. It signals that women are not less than and should have a seat at every table.
BONUS | Women, politics and the presidency
Q: When you think about the fight for more political power for women in this country, where do you think we are in that story right now?
We've made a lot of progress, but the progress seems slow some days, especially regarding representation in leadership roles.
