A Presidential Podcast: Recent Episodes
A.P. Podcast
This podcast is a presidential analysis and ranking series that starts with a look at President Richard Milhous Nixon and the Nixon Administration from 1968-1975. Instead of starting at the beginning of US History with President George Washington, we decided to start with a presidential case that would be more difficult to decide whether or not the administration was effective in their goals and beneficial for America. A.P. Podcast strives to put forward engaging, knowledgable, and politically neutral content that is appropriate for all ages! With every podcast and every podcast season, our hosts try to answer the question, should the president in question be remembered for the poor things they've done, or the good things they've done, and is history remembering them in the correct way? We hope you will choose to join Caleb Sampson and Trevor Adams on their journey through US History! For more information visit us at: https://sites.google.com/view/apresidentialpodcast2020
