Late comer to History

I do think this podcast comes about 35 years too late. I really enjoy listening to the subtle nuances of the presidents that we missed in AP history in high school. This podcast serves to fill in some of the gaps in my education that I did not take seriously all those years ago. Keep up the great work.

Scottzee!

I’ve listened to and loved every episode and have left many great reviews. I believe our political views are similar, as I definitely lean left but you’ve been reasonably fair to both sides…... until Reagan. For the first time, you were completely one sided with Reagan and messed up several dates (calling Bush President in 82 and others). I’m definitely not a “Reaganite” but your 3 items at the end were all negative and you didn’t even list how he took down the Soviet Union, which freed millions of people in block countries…..including my family. I hope you can right the ship in the next episode.
