Perfect Way to Start My Day

These brief, crisp, daily visits to historical events are the perfect way to start my day. I grab the dog, start our walk, and tune in to the great Jon Meacham. And most days, I’ll do additional research on the days subject when I return home. Please come back! This hiatus has gone on too long!

Can you say Meecham once more! ,

Great show, wish he would stop saying. meecham

Great show. Annoying how much mentions his names. Comes off as extremely arrogant. Otherwise, well done!

Mostly advertisements, bits of history

The podcast started out well-intentioned, even though the hosts arrogance always shined through the constant mentions of his own name. Nowadays, it’s mostly advertisements with bits of history. Lately, you can also see a departure from unbiased history towards leftist talking points. Sad.
