“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 forward, chronologically. Without a single exception, every other kid in the class started with the current president & worked their way backwards. So when I heard This American President for the 1st time, l knew l had found a kindred spirit in Richard Lim! The fact that his 1st episode was George Washington - arguably our greatest president - shouldn’t surprise anyone (especially given Richard’s connection to Mount Vernon!), but his 2nd subject, Andrew Johnson just blew me away! Choosing one of the most controversial (and, dare l say, despicable presidents ever) as the follow up to GW, was a complete & bold statement. I knew I had found something special - and it consistently is special. The way he unveils Johnson’s beliefs (flawed as they are), Lim exposes an infinitely more complex individual than l had ever considered. Lim also has a deceivingly low key, natural approach that belies his intellect. His interviews are brilliantly executed conversations with his well-chosen guests. I never get the impression that his guests are just trying to ‘pimp’ a new book, but just want to have a conversation with the host. Built for both the casual history nerd & the more serious-minded historian… Well-researched, stunningly informative and yet, remarkably entertaining - what else could you want in a podcast? Keep it up!”

“Every American should listen to this podcast, history teachers across the country should listen to this or maybe just play this for a school lesson. It's better than any history class I ever took in high school or college. Richard really brings George Washington to life with great story...”Read full review »
