    The improbable Victoria Woodhull, an interview with Eden Collinsworth
    Sep 1 2025

    "While others prayed for the good time coming, I worked for it," - Victoria Woodhull, April 2, 1870, in a newspaper column announcing her candidacy for presidency of the United States.

    You may know that Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for president, but did you know that prior to running for office, she turned a reputation for being a clairvoyant into a stock brokerage career? Or that her vice presidential candidate was Frederick Douglass, but he didn't know it? Or that she missed the election because she was in jail?

    Join me for an interview with Eden Collinsworth on her new book, The Improbable Victoria Woodhull: Suffrage, Free Love, and the First Woman to Run for President.

  • Democricide season 1: Who Killed Athenian Democracy? Episode 2

    Democricide season 1: Who Killed Athenian Democracy? Episode 2
    Jun 14 2025

    Please enjoy this preview of my new podcast, Democricide.

    Athenian Democracy was established, but who cared? Compared to the mighty Persian empire, the Greek city states were a bunch of backwaters. And that's how history may have remembered them, if not for one suicidally ambitious Greek, and one desperately crafty Athenian who saved his city from destruction.

    Please enjoy this preview of my new podcast, Democricide.

    Athens wasn't always a democracy, but when a tyrant overplayed his hand and a revolutionary proposed something better, it launched a new form of government that changed the Greek world.

very informative, expanded my knowledge base regarding Luncoln's views and beliefs, as well as his reasoning for instituting policies.

1. I love the humor. It’s subtle and has just the right amount of sarcasm.
2. It’s informative in the best way. There’s a variety of experts telling different parts of history. Each guest has an opinion and Kenny Ryan lets them speak—even if he clearly disagrees with the guest’s views.
3. It beats the stereotypes. The Herbert Hoover episodes blew my mind. Hoover is looked down upon by history. When we think of Hoover, we associate him with The Great Depression (and Anne if you’re into musicals). This podcast broke that stereotype for me and completely changed how I see the past, present, and future. This podcast is not afraid to say good things about presidents who are viewed negatively or to say bad things about presidents who are perceived positively.

In conclusion, thanks Kenny. You’re doing great and I am so excited for more episodes.
