Franklin D. Roosevelt faced fear at every stage of his life, from personal hardship to national crisis.

From his battle with polio to the sweeping reforms of the New Deal and the trials of World War II, the episode highlights how fear can either divide or unite a country. At its core, it’s a story about resilience, showing that true leadership isn’t about eliminating fear, but rising above it. Presidents Unplugged has merch!

Was Herbert Hoover helping others just to be "caught on camera" or to make himself look good? Or was he truly doing it for the greater good?

This episode dives into the unexpected presidency of Gerald Ford, the only president never elected as either president or vice president. From his humble beginnings and years in Congress to stepping into office after the resignation of Richard Nixon, this episode explores the challenge of leading a divided nation during one of America’s most uncertain moments. We unpack Ford’s controversial pardon of Nixon, his efforts to restore trust in government, and the difficult economic struggles facing the country.

#2 The Man In Second

Today, we dive into the fascinating story of John Adams, America's second president, a man who always seemed to live in somebody else’s shadow. From defending British soldiers after the Boston Massacre to becoming the nation’s first vice president and eventually president himself, Adams constantly found himself in second place while still shaping the future of the country. We explore his rivalry and unexpected friendship with Thomas Jefferson, and the chaos of the election of 1800. Even if John Adams always seemed to come in second, his dedication to America always came first. Presidents Unplugged has merch!
