New special episodes in the countdown to the 2020 presidential election highlight other stories from U.S. presidential history that can help illuminate our current moment.

  • Not as informative as I thought it would be

    I only listened to the first 2 episodes, while there were some interesting facts the second episode really only talked about a monument. I was hoping to learn more about their time in office.

  • Great Ended With Bias

    Great podcast until the Trump episode. Whether you like the guy or not, in the very first episode you stated you would give an honest report even if the president was not necessarily good or bad. You ended by spending 10 minutes bashing Trump in an hour long episode. Otherwise its a decent podcast

  • Solid content, OK production

    Overall this is a very informative podcast. The only outlier is the Trump episode. It was published just 3 days after the 2016 election, so it can be forgiven for being so different. However, since the Biden episode follows the general format of the series, an updated Trump episode would be great. more

  • I watched the William Henry Harrison episode, and it was mostly informational with a little bit of an interview. I learned about Harrison's background, his campaign, and the actual cause of his death. This podcast really helped me understand Harrison's campaign of "hard cider and log cabin" better. Overall, I thought this podcast was pretty interesting, and I highly recommend it to those who want to learn more about Harrison, who is often just known as the "president who died in 30 days".
