Customer Reviews
Horrible! Worst historical podcast.
In Episode about Ulysses Grant an author throws up nonsensical hypotheticals repeating Lost Cause propaganda. 🤮Poorly researched.
Excellent
Very well researched and presented without an agenda which is truly refreshing. Please don’t submit to those with an agenda.
Love the deep dives
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!
