The episode on Ronald Reagan was done very well. He was very fair.

Very well researched and presented without an agenda which is truly refreshing. Please don’t submit to those with an agenda.

In Episode about Ulysses Grant an author throws up nonsensical hypotheticals repeating Lost Cause propaganda. 🤮Poorly researched.
Straightiron via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/24
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.
Tigre467998 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
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
Eddie Ginsburg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/23
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 »

In a time when history is being rewritten, it was such a pleasure to find this podcast. Keep up the good work! Thanks!

This American President podcast is a great gateway into the history of our country and the world. For those who believe history to be dry, try this show.

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 know you guys think its cutesie to whine about pronouns and be snowflakes about the taking down of statues of white supremacists but you’re not...Read full review »

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 »

Well-researched. Great content. Richard is a great host. Nerd out on presidential history with this gem of a podcast.
millardchillmore via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/23
This is my favorite podcast - the combination of history and storytelling is wonderful. The conversations with authors and experts are so interesting. I’ve learned so much and appreciate this very thoughtful approach to the presidency and those who have served in the office.

This show deep dives into Republican presidents. But Democrat presidents are only mentioned in passing.
Szabinasnape via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/23
Great podcast. Most history podcasts judge history through our values. This American President looks at history through an historical lens so you can a more precise idea of what was happening at the time. Love it!!
Leathers4123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
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 »

The host is passionate about challenging the misconceptions and stereotypes we all have about US presidents, and helping us to truly learn and understand history and the people who have shaped the world we live in today. Through his well-researched content, and especially through the interesting...Read full review »

My goodness, what a fantastic podcast! Detailed yet engaging… the hours I spend listening go by so quickly! Bravo to all involved!

Opened my eyes. Thanks

Really enjoyed the episode on Zachary Taylor.
SassyDancer101👯 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/22
Always interesting
Harry Harbord Morant via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/21/22
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.
Jaret17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/22
The latest episode with Mr. Jeff Nussbaum is awesome! The shoes keep getting better and better
the_rietveld via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/22
Nothing more annoying than a straight man using sports analogies to help make history relatable. If it wasn’t for that, this podcast would be perfect.
cravendaddy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/22
From the fantastic theme music to the varied, interesting topics, this podcast has risen to the top of my favorites list. Richard is an excellent interviewer and the episodes which feature a guest conversation are particularly engaging, in my opinion. If you have an interest in American...Read full review »

I love history, and learning more about US presidents, but have never been able to understand politics. This podcast has taught me many new facts about US history, and made politics so much easier to understand, by explaining issues fairly from different viewpoints. I’ve especially loved...Read full review »

Great podcast that comes to its listeners extremly well-researched. This one is a must for any history buff!

I have learned so much from this podcast. The show is incredibly well presented and produced. A must listen!
Nom d'guerra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/22
This podcast is extremely well-researched and narrated. The episodes are long-ish and come out relatively infrequently, but trust me...they are well worth the time and the wait. I have listened to many podcasts about US presidents, and this one is hands down the best. Invest the time in...Read full review »

I’m slow to catch up as I only discovered your podcast a few months ago. I am currently listening to your history about Nixon. In the beginning it was a lot of story base, which I was happy to listen to.Eventually I started listening to the guests that have been brought on to comment on...Read full review »

MissRich90 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/22
This American President is one of the most prepared, insightful podcasts I have ever listened to! From the day Richard started the series on Washington, you could tell just how much work he puts in to each episode. To the reviewer saying there is a “slight _____-wing bias,” there were episodes...Read full review »

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.
DPSSM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/21
Yep
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 »

I enjoy the podcasts very much but find the music unbearable. Way too dramatic and too loud. Needs to be more subtle please. I find it difficult to listen. Such a shame😫

One of the best podcasts in us presidents
s??65834 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/21
I really enjoy this podcast! It’s becoming one of my favorites. I hope they continue to produce regular content.
eeh_4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/21
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.
Northern Blot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/21
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.

This is a great history podcasts, quickly became one of my favorites. The writing is great and I appreciate Richard’s perspective. When I first started listening I was a bit skeptical about how interested I’d be in hearing biographies of presidents, but this is so much more than that and I was...Read full review »
WchBlok via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/21
Richard Lim approaches his subjects as a narrative, a story to tell that provides context as well chronological facts. No spin. Well researched. A really good listen for anyone with interest in American history.
GregN_CT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/21
My God, what the devil is this? I listened to the first few episodes and enjoyed them as great history lessons but this verges on fawning fan fiction. The description of his role as president of the actors guild and the fact that he ardently destroyed the lives of creative artists on flimsy...Read full review »

Very detailed and informative.
Miguelito2017 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/21
I listen to many history podcasts. This fills in many gaps left by others and helps answer many questions. The 1876 episode is one of the most informative I’ve heard. Highly recommend this.
Jeditanker72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/21
You’re my favorite podcast. I wait for your new episodes like it’s a soap opera.
