Just found out about this podcast from the Big Rhetorical Podcast Carnival. I’ve only listened to a few shows from season one and have enjoyed them. Will catch up on the rest soon!
Like
I like this podcast. Wish it was more often. I do have a comment. John Hanson was the first President in the United States. I think there were 7 before George Washington. The “Fact” statement that would be correct was “ George Washington was the first elected president of the United States.”
Annoying, distracting cohost “wit”
Really interested in the topic but had to stop listening after 4 episodes because of the one hosts’ CONSTANT “witty” sidebars that do not contribute but distract. The host Tim is wonderful and I wish I could hear him uninterrupted .
