What JFK Would Have Done in Vietnam Had He Survived, with Marc J. Selverstone
It's one of the great what-ifs in American history: had President John F. Kennedy not been assassinated, would he have escalated involvement in Vietnam in the same way his successor Lyndon Johnson did? Some say yes, while others say that JFK would have pulled out, sparing the nation the trauma of the war. In this episode, we interview Marc J. Selverstone about this fascinating question.

How George Washington Saved America with Bret Baier
We tend to see events like the founding of America as inevitable, but as Bret Baier observes, it was anything but. It took a great deal of blood and treasure and even a little bit of luck to establish the United States. No less important was the wisdom, character, and leadership of George Washington. In this episode, we interview Mr. Baier about his new book, To Rescue the Constitution, and learn how Washington literally saved America from collapse.

What We Get Wrong About Richard Nixon With Paul Carter
American schoolchildren learn one thing about Richard Nixon: that he's the only U.S. president in history to resign. He's been portrayed in countless books, movies, and documentaries as the most disturbed, paranoid, and corrupt president of all time. Paul Carter, however, says that we've gotten Nixon all wrong. In this episode, we interview Mr. Carter about his new book, Richard Nixon: California's Native Son, where he reveals a side of our 37th president that we've never seen before.

Customer Reviews
This American President
Have only listened to one episode, the James A Garfield, but it told me more about him than I had known before. Most shows about him only speak about his murder, not about how brilliant he was
Great podcast and greatly delivery.
In a time when history is being rewritten, it was such a pleasure to find this podcast. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
Not reliable
I tried liking this as I love history podcasts. But after listening to a few episodes I started getting suspicious. This podcaster is not interested in well-researched history. He has an agenda, and he is eager to spread it. Plus, his method of presentation is boring. Fortunately, I quickly found a podcast that is well researched and has interviews with interesting and knowledgeable speakers (“Presidential”).
