Hell of Presidents: Episode 1 - Founding Daddies

Get in the Presidency, George.
Chris and Matt's Hell of Presidents series comes to the Patreon. Over the next weeks, we'll be posting the entire series here to be permanently available for all subscribers.
Appreciate Matt flubbing (it’s the NewBURGH conspiracy) the one important aspect of my hometowns’ contribution to the Revolutionary Era. Wish you guys went into it a bit more because it was essentially just a bunch of yokels wanting to overthrow their masters because they didn’t get paid and deciding not to after a guy on a horse called them brave.

I love how Matt started the show as someone who would’ve never ref’d anime but here is full on dropping correct analogues to Evangelion. Incredible.
And also it really sounds like he is doing this off the dome. Which gives this (and I love them both) a unique flavor. Compared to hell on earth.
He really is a goddamn legend.
Love you Matt and Chris. I get so much fucking enjoyment out of this stuff.
It was Matt’s energy on today’s pod that brought me back. Valentine’s Day. 2025.

This is a direct copy-paste of a reply I got when I made a reddit post asking this same question 2 years ago:
The description of the last episode has the books they recommend.
"Thank you all for listening. Many have requested a bibliography or recommended reading. Here’s what we got:
\- The Oxford History of the United States series is all very good, but especially:
\- What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848, Daniel Walker Howe
\- The Republic for Which It Stands: The United States during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, 1865-1896, Richard White
Then also:
\- The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln, Sean Wilentz
\- A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, Michael McGerr
\- Pivotal Decade: How the United States Traded Factories for Finance in the 70’s, Judith Stein
\- The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America, Greg Grandin
\- Everything by Rick Perlstein"
I'd add Battle Cry Of Freedom also from the Oxford series and This Vast Southern Empire by Matt Karp whom they interviewed in the Civil War bonus ep. Also, you might be interested in Railroaded by Richard White that goes into how the goverment project of building a transcontinental railroad during the Civil War made fortunes but made inequality rise (Matt mentioned something about how the same thing happened with the internet). It's a huge book but there's good stuff to listen to:
Tides of History with Richard White (where Matt got the idea to read The Republic for Wich it Stands): [https://art19.com/shows/tides-of-history/episodes/c13ddc51-a9c5-4300-b318-98de5eac0e46](https://art19.com/shows/tides-of-history/episodes/c13ddc51-a9c5-4300-b318-98de5eac0e46)

I remember an argument in the comments where a dude was getting pissed at the animation and because he didn't get people were telling him a fucking ton was more than a ton. Very Chris Chan energy.

Paid for sticher to listen to this whole series and will happily listen to it again here!
Get Well Matt!

Awesome this great slop is available outside of Stitcher! Only issue is this isn't being picked up in my podcast app's feed. Is there a way for it and the rest of this series to do so, or will I just have to manually download it to my phone?

YES! Thank you so much for this. This series won me over on the "Chris and Matt do a Historical Jaunt" concept for a podcast and you guys then went on to KNOCK THE BALL OUT OF THE STADIUM with Hell on Earth. A speedy recovery to our good boy Matt and keep the historical content coming!

I don't see where you do it on desktop, but in mobile app if you click the menu icon in the top right of the page, you can select "Connect to RSS feed" and whatever app you wanna use will be able to take that. I just recently got all my Patreon shit into Apple Podcasts and so much better.
