Worth listening to, but not great.
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 investigation - like the “if I were set up on a blind date” question. The question yields more comments on how funny or clever that question is than information we actually want about these presidents. The narrator also seems immature and ingratiating - but that may be due to youth and inexperience, as she appears to be intelligent. The show would be better if the creators focused more on the content than on the conceptual approach to the delivery.

So far I’ve enjoyed this one although I still think My History Can Beat Up Your Politics is the superior history-politics podcast for this niche.

I listen to a lot history podcasts, and this one definitely passes muster. If you're a fan of the "Backstory with the American History Guys" podcast then this one has a very similar feel and style.Read full review »
