Presidencies of the United States

Presidencies of the United States does exactly what the title promises: it works through every American president, administration by administration, from George Washington forward. Hosted by Jerry on the Evergreen Podcasts network, the show takes a methodical, story-driven approach to presidential history. With 295 episodes releasing monthly, it covers not just the presidents themselves but their cabinets, vice presidents, and the key decisions that defined each era. The show has a 4.7 rating, though from a smaller pool of 113 reviewers -- it's more of a dedicated niche podcast than a mainstream hit. That smaller audience is fiercely loyal, though, and reviews consistently praise the depth of research and thoroughness of coverage. Jerry doesn't just hit the highlights; he traces each president's path to office, their personal finances, their leadership style, and the crises they navigated. The monthly release schedule means this is a slow build. One reviewer joked that at the current pace, covering all the presidents would take roughly a century. But for people who want that level of detail, there's nothing else quite like it. The show handles lesser-known presidents with the same care as the famous ones, which means you'll learn just as much about Franklin Pierce as you will about Abraham Lincoln. If presidential history is your thing and you have patience for a long journey, this podcast rewards the commitment.
