About Reframing America

Frame by frame, the faces of US presidents are hung from the walls of America's history classrooms — but are those men REALLY the faces of America's history? Who REALLY belongs in the picture frames that line America's history classrooms? Welcome to "Reframing America," the podcast that explores American history — president by president, frame by frame — to determine the best faces to symbolize the evolution of American history. Join us for "Historical Hot Takes", the "Worst Person in America award," "What Actor Should Play this President?" and more!

The Quiet Crusader: Dwight Eisenhower's Unyielding Resolve (Part 1)

The name "Dwight D. Eisenhower" conjures images of a sparkling smile, an iconic war hero, and a fatherly figure guiding America through the 1950s. Behind that glossy exterior, Eisenhower's tenure as president was one of profound, controversial, and ultimately morally questionable covert actions. Tony Rydberg and Ryan Rasmussen reflect on Eisenhower's life and presidency in Part 1 of their two-part series on the man the world called "Ike."

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
