In a special episode recorded in Palm Beach, Florida, Lee and Richard interview presidential historian Alvin S.

Topics include: who was the first President to meet a monarch - before, during, and after their presidency? And who did the late Queen Elizabeth II like most of her American counterparts?
In this episode, we mention the following books:
'American Psychosis: A Historical Investigation of How the Republican Party Went Crazy' by David Corn.
'The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn't): Rethinking the Presidential Scorecard' by Alvin S. Felzenberg.
