Mehr Pardon Me?! A Presidential History Podcast

It’s time to dish on the presidents. Comedians Trent Thomson and Marissa Macy gossip their way through U.S. History by examining the personalities, bad behavior, and astrological charts of the nation’s presidents. Join us every other Monday for hot takes on the country’s highest office, along with the juicy tidbits about U.S. History that we uncover along the way. Think of the Flashcard episodes like the supplemental material at the end of a chapter in your U.S. History textbook (it’s not going to be on the test, but it’ll help with your AP essays)!

Episode James Buchanan: The Queer One Cover

James Buchanan: The Queer One

S2E17 - Oh, how we wish the queerest president wasn’t one of our nation’s worst! So gay, so terrible, y’all. Trent and Marissa talk out Buchanan’s long-term relationship with Rufus King, the many scandals of his administration, and his chronic inaction in the lead up to the Civil War. Plus, gallons of oysters, Russian czarinas, slippery leather pumps, and a D.C. love shack! This is the end of Season Two, but we’ll be back in the spring with Lincoln and his (allegedly) beautiful thighs!  Email pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com [pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com] to contact us or issue corrections (with sources, please)!   Produced and Edited by Trent Thomson and Marissa Macy Original music by Noise of Approval [https://noiseofapproval.bandcamp.com/] Graphic design by Darcey Mckinney   Sources The Worst President – The Story of James Buchanan by Gary Boulard [https://www.amazon.com/Worst-President-Story-James-Buchanan/dp/1491759615] Bosom Friends: The Intimate World of James Buchanan and William Rufus King by Thomas J.

Episode FLASHCARD: Bleeding Kansas Cover

FLASHCARD: Bleeding Kansas

S2E16 - Tune in as Trent and Marissa break down the infamous Kansas-Nebraska Act and its bloody consequences.  Signed into law by hot loser Franklin Pierce in 1854, it allowed the people themselves to decide whether or not to allow slavery in the territories. What could possibly go wrong? Well, just voter fraud, the beating of a congressman, broadswords, fleeing governors, killing sprees, the death of a political party, the birth of a political party… and the inevitability of civil war.  Email pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com [pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com] to contact us or issue corrections (with sources, please)!   Produced and Edited by Trent Thomson and Marissa Macy Original music by Noise of Approval [https://noiseofapproval.bandcamp.com/] Graphic design by Darcey Mckinney   Sources Franklin Pierce by Michael F.

Episode Franklin Pierce: Tragically Hot Cover

Franklin Pierce: Tragically Hot

S2E15 - Known for being one of our hottest presidents but also one of the worst, the story of Franklin Pierce is full of tragedies, horse accidents, drinking, bad timing, and fainting. President during a time of deepening political divides, Pierce made all the wrong choices and hung out with all the wrong people. Trent and Marissa talk through it all, including the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Gadsden Purchase, why Nathaniel Hawthorne sucks, and more!    Email pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com [pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com] to contact us or issue corrections (with sources, please)!
