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 career. I like how this podcast normally doesn’t deify presidents (guests list pros and cons and oftentimes pushback against presidential decisions) but Kengor tends to fawn over the gold-polished image of Reagan he describes. Reagan’s acting experience played a major role in his political success, no doubt, but why no mention of McCarthyism and Reagan’s role in demonizing communism in Hollywood - and how that contributed to the McCarthy Trials and the derailment of dozens of Hollywood stars who were friends of Reagan? Whole episode felt unbalanced.

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.

A thoroughly enjoyable and well-researched presidential podcast. This American President sets itself apart from other presidential podcasts and is worthy of the listeners attention. I cannot wait to listen to the next episode!
