The only podcast dedicated to discussing, learning about, and having fun with #16

My favorite thing about this podcast is the wide range of Lincoln topics covered. From Abe’s dog Fido to his relationships with his generals, you can’t predict what aspect of lincolns life will come next. This keeps it interesting and fresh. I haven’t heard a podcast solely about his honesty, so I hope to hear whether abraham was always 100% candid as a politician and a lawyer. I’m sure that once in a while he said what he had to to win cases and win the war. But Was honest abe part myth — even slightly? All three contributors are necessary for the success of the podcast; each one brings a different perspective that enriches the show. I don’t know how you are supposed to have a podcast about a past president without comparing and contrasting him to the current president. Don’t change a thing!
