This week Josh is joined by Sarah Thomson, American history PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, to chat about Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, the current sitting president Joe Biden, and discuss who could one day be president of the United States.

In the first of a new part of the podcast called Mini Histories, Josh talks about the Italian Renaissance - an artistic and intellectual movement that was birthed in Florence and caught the minds and paintbrushes of people across Europe in the early modern period.
