    The Charlie Kirk love is so odd. Used to love the show. Unsubscribing. There are better (unbiased) shows on Presidents out there.

  • Great podcast

    Thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast and always seem to learn something new. Richard Lim does a good job of explaining contemporary views, both positive and negative, of the President being discussed; and then shares his views with support. I’m catching up on some older episodes. Just listened to the 2023 series (5 episodes) on progressive presidents Roosevelt and Wilson. Very informative and nice summary of their legacy in the last episode.

    I feel like I learn a lot when I listen to this podcast. More details and recent revelations about historical events that I learned about in school long ago, but I’m finding a more nuanced and dimensional perspective.
