“In Episode about Ulysses Grant an author throws up nonsensical hypotheticals repeating Lost Cause propaganda. 🤮Poorly researched.”

“This show is the vindicator of the lost presidents - those we don't remember well, or who didn't have sensational terms in office. Richard brings out the significance and richness of each administration in an engaging and thoughtful way. I'm always better for listening. Thank you!”Read full review »

“I have no patience for podcasts about American presidents that do not take their entire careers and relationship to slavery and the genocide of native Americans.”

“This high-quality podcast delves into the lives and legacies of U.S.
Presidents through long form stories & interviews, and it challenges the way
I look at American history. Bravo!”

“Have only listened to one episode, the James A Garfield, but it told me more about him than I had known before. Most shows about him only speak about his murder, not about how brilliant he was”

“I tried liking this as I love history podcasts. But after listening to a few episodes I started getting suspicious. This podcaster is not interested in well-researched history. He has an agenda, and he is eager to spread it. Plus, his method of presentation is boring. Fortunately, I quickly found...”Read full review »

“I know you and Rank are weird conservatives, but if you could not have outright bigots who snicker about pronouns off your podcast that would be great.

“I remember in college, taking a Psychology class & the subject of the lecture was memory. As an exercise, the Prof asked the class to name as many POTUS’ as we could in a specific amount of time. As a self-professed history nerd, I instinctually started with George Washington & moved...”Read full review »

“This podcast has lots of thoroughly researched information, and deep dive facts. Unfortunately, for me, the narrative delivery is so painfully dry, I rarely get through a whole episode. It sounds like someone reading from unfamiliar 3x5 card, anxious to finish. Humorless, impersonal, lacking any...”Read full review »

“It has been made very clear the conservative lens through which this research is done. I would love for personal views to remain aside with a presentation of the nonpartisan good, the bad, and the ugly for each president.”

“I consider myself a history buff. I recommend this podcast for similar people. I learned a lot from the Jefferson “Art of the Deal” episode in particular. Cherry-picking episodes of interest now. I know a fair bit and I haven’t heard anything wrong yet. It seems pretty “fair and balanced” so far.”

“Five stars despite the recent Paul Kengor episode. Felt more like Paul talking about himself and his fandom of Reagan vs a balanced conversation about “The Making of Reagan”. The whole recap Kengor does of Reagan’s acting career was repulsively subjective, and didn’t align w/ Reagan’s actual...”Read full review »

“Thus far, I’ve listened to several episodes in chronological order. From the outset, I detected a slight bit of right wing opinion injected here and there in every episode. Aside from this distraction, the story telling is generally entertaining.”

“To say that the fight against a tryanical government was one of the driving forces behind the civil war appears to ignore the arguments of confederate governors, confederate state constitutions, and the confederate constitution. This includes the cornerstone speech itself.”
