Season Two, gives the same treatment to the 45 US Presidents from George Washington through to Joe Biden, with each episode featuring an interview with the author of the essay about a President in Iain Dale’s book ‘The Presidents’. Season Three contained interviews about the various and varied Irish Taoisigh, whilst the new Season 4 takes you through England and the UK's many Kings and Queens, as featured in Iain's book Kings and Queens: 1200 Years of English and British Monarchs.

Kings, PMs, Presidents - Excellent Podcast

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Iain does an excellent job questioning his guests, most of whom are quite good. The subjects are individuals who have shaped the history of the UK, US and Ireland. The episodes are also not overly long like a lot of other history podcasts.

Great podcast but somebody teach Dr Felzenberg how to silence notifications. Or put his phone in the other room. Almost unlistenable.
Very Interesting!!

Wonderfully interesting and highly entertaining podcasts. And educational to boot. A ‘can’t miss’ for anyone interested in British political history.

Was the guy on the Robert Walpole drunk? Please re do this one with someone better. He sounded like some drunk guy at the end of the bar…
