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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

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!

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...Read full review »

I learned so much about some of the obscure presidents. I walked away with a greater respect and appreciation for the men who have held the office.

Each presidency does not stand alone. They are all woven into each other. To understand the complexity of the office of the President, let alone the history the of the United States, it’s vital to start from Washington and continue to the present day. This podcast really lays out context in a...Read full review »

I’m at the John adams episode, was hoping to learn about John adams, instead 3/4ths of the episode is about why there isn’t a John adams memorial. They brought on a US memorial expert to break down the process of getting one. I DO NOT CARE. The episode began with commentary on how no one knows...Read full review »

It’s amazing to me that anyone believes that any President is actually a good person trying to make real change. Presidents for years & years & years have been bought and paid for. They are actors portraying a character (said by 2 Presidents themselves). They are the front for a corrupt...Read full review »

I want to listen to the podcasts about presidents but all that comes up are national parks.
Lantoga via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/23
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 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
bloopitydoopity via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/23
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...Read full review »

A friend recommended this podcast to me and I have not been disappointed!!! Case in point: I’ve listened to the Harry Truman segment 3 times. Kudos for bringing the incomparable David McCollough to provide insight. Anyway, Lillian Cunningham knocked the ball out of the park with this series.
ShipShore via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/23
The episode on Trump was all about tearing him down, but with Biden you start from his childhood and build him up and ignore the fact that he is a racist and that he has a problem with telling the truth, but you excoriate Trump for his falsehoods. I guess your liberal bias is showing through....Read full review »

Monroe was very interesting. Actually, this whole podcast was very interesting. Now go listen to it, get informed and interested about the US presidents, and stop reading this review.

Absolutely loved this podcast. It was interesting and informative and appreciated the telling of facts we might never have heard before were it not for this podcast.
Jamey1559 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/22
As a life-long Presidential hostory geek, I have loved this series. I was, however, disappointed with the lack of any mention of the AIDS pandemic in the Reagan episode. His response (or lack of response and reasons why) to this crisis are still felt to this day as the far right continues to play...Read full review »

I’ve enjoyed learning about the obscure presidents in an entertaining and at the same time scholarly manner. Some episodes are rather long, but they are all packed with thoughtful commentaries from experts, as well as historical facts. The host has a calmed tone of voice and her questions...Read full review »

The structure jumps all over the place. The narration isn’t great, it sounds kind of like a high school project presentation. The worst though are the many episodes that don’t discuss much of anything about their presidential impact on the contract. I would love it if they would redo it with...Read full review »

Just finished listening to this podcast and I loved obsessing about the presidents over the course of the last two weeks as I took in each president. I now have all the presidents names memorized in order, and feel like I have a better grasp of American history as a presidency can reveal a lot...Read full review »

People asked questions and made a show about presidents. Some story’s had interesting information and others where empty boring conversations. If you like pod that is kind of ok, this is your jam. The last episode about Trump was very confusing.

I really enjoyed all the episodes, but I do believe Cunningham sometimes treaded toward certain tellings of history that are problematically traditional. I wish she would have found ways of telling more woke understandings of certain presidents and periods in history. At times, it felt like she...Read full review »

I’ve enjoyed every episode of this podcast and feel sorry that it has ended. Narration is important along with content. The narrator is eloquent and steady in her delivery and so easy to listen to! I found the historical content to be excellent.
krrb1135 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/22
I love this show. It’s got a few things you know, a few things you didn’t know, and excellent book references for each president for those who want to deep dive. It’s entertaining & keeps a good pace, good balance. Great show.
Chaene12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/22
This podcast chooses specific events or themes from each president and shares some of the lesser known information. The audio mixing, however, is terrible. Music is too loud, but then the historian interviews are inaudible. Not great for listening while driving.

BOOM002 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/21
The quality of the audio on any ‘experts’ that were interviewed was horrible. And I was looking for biographical podcasts on each president, not one specific, nonsensical, issue like the John Adam’s episode. Yes, he needs a monument. But who cares?
Hgttfg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/21
I have always loved history but knew almost nothing about the presidents. I have learned so many amazing things about each president that I never knew. This podcast is amazing and I love learning about more obscure presidents
Lstokley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/21
Not even a passing mention of the AIDS epidemic in the Reagan episode… truly horrible oversight.
Jules5168 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/21
It’s not bad but you get almost nothing about each president. There’s surface level, then there’s this podcast in a helicopter hovering above surface level, not even scratching the surface. I know nothing about US presidents so I can’t say I’ve gotten nothing out of it, but you don’t get much.
Ulac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/21
This podcast is fascinating! It’s the history class i wish I could have taken in high school or college! Listening for the 2nd time because I enjoyed it so much!
Kdkdjgsjjal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/21
Superb podcast just completed front to back educating myself on more of US politics. Fascinating perspective on Presidents down the ages. So pleased I subscribed to WaPo last year and the superb reporting and podcasts the team produces. Now for Constitution. Thanks Lillian
timbovin0 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/18/21
I loved how you humanized every president and how they were each a product of their time. I loved the questions asked and the unbiased and global look at each man. What I loved most was the line of how who we are now has been traced from who we were.
janwayne50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/21
Historians writing about subjects that have already been covered extensively have to come up with a new angle. But the new angle should still reveal information that is worth learning. Many of the episodes here lack much information- and there’s a lot of wasted airtime on clumsy approaches to...Read full review »

I think this is an amazing podcast to learn about American presidents at a surface level and gives the listener an opportunity to dig deeper into topics they are interested in. I know there was an immense amount of work that went into organizing the guests and making the show interesting and...Read full review »

I just want the facts about the presidents...not your idea of who should/should not have won. 🙄 Clearly a biased view on the presidents.

Really really enjoyed this phenomenal podcast about the Presidents!
lstebbins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/21
Overall I loved it. There was a little too much dead air at times and other times it felt rushed. It would be nice (as much as I don’t want to ever hear of him again) to do an after episode for 45 but like in a couple years. Please, please do one on the First Ladies. Whether the person who took...Read full review »

I listened to one episode, then listened to all 45! Now into last episodes of Constitutional. High risk of binch listening. Great storytelling format. Big fan from the Netherlands.

The narrator is a pseudointellect and her voice makes me want to blow my brains out.

I love it though some things could be changed.

Literally the entire episode of Woodrow Wilson is about how he was a “racist”. Hot garbage, this is history for blue-haired feminists in their freshman year of college.
Dimenysys via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/21
This podcast is great journey through history and a wonderful in-depth look at our presidents. Lillian Cunningham does a wonderful job of talking politics without getting political. She presents each prez in a fair and thoughtful way so we can learn who they were as people and better understand...Read full review »

The John Adams episode was literally about there not being an Adams monument. I learned absolutely nothing about his presidency, which is then reason I listened in the first place. Deleting this podcast because it didn’t live up to expectations.

Each episode was fantastic, so much information! It was nice to hear about the Presidents as people.
