“In Ronald Reagan’s episode they criticize Donald Trump for creating fake border crisis. Turns out Trump was correct yet again.”

“Great overall podcast. My only beef is the anti trump bias in particular. (And no, I don’t like trump either). This is a history podcast. Best to let the speech of morons “speak” for themselves.”

In today’s coarse world, your episodes have lifted me up and often moved me near to tears (“I’m not crying. You’re crying.”) Yes, you have great material to work with, but your...”Read full review »

“This podcast reminded me to be even more aware of words and their impact in moments. When events and words collide like they do in the moments review here by Dr Meacham, and when there is a highlight from a historian of Dr Meacham’s caliber, transformation in my soul happens.

“My belief, you give Reagan too much credit. He was barely a good actor in the end, he was a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, narcissist, antisemite moron comedian. We all love a good comedian. He propelled the decline of the Republican Party and worse the rise of white nationalist...”Read full review »
