Well done

I really like this podcast. It gives a good start to each president and provides resources to learn more about each one. Some people have complained about how the podcaster asks what it would be like to go on a blind date with each president, but I don’t think the intent is to sexualize the historical figures. It’s just meant to give you an idea of their character to those who were close to them. All in all, it’s well done and I would recommend it.

Tremendous!

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Didn’t realize I’d be so captivated!

Am thoroughly enjoying Presidential podcast!! I’m over halfway through and have been captivated by it all! Thank you for making this history so interesting!! (Am looking forwarding to listening to the Constitutional one next! )
