“Did I mention this and the Roman Emperors podcast were the first podcast I ever listened to? Masterful and self-referential and snarky in the best way. Gets us to do our own research to link up with the “I’m not going into that, tariffs are boring” segments. I literally found it by looking up American Presidents as a podcast topic and this was the first one that comes up. Start with the lesser known presidents; the hosts’ comic skills are very much in evidence when there is less information to sift through. The James Buchanan episodes in particular will never get old. See the Historia Augusta school of historiography for info. “Whatever we say is what all historians will agree actually happened. Complete with Rocky and all the Omens.” Also worth it for the classic and meta ending skits! And definitely good for a British perspective on US history that is really illuminating! Especially when any of these people are ambassadors to the UK. Or when Britain questions our title to Oregon… Andrew Schneider”
