  • Resumen

  • On February 10th, 1796, Vice President John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, lamenting the state of discourse in the country. The election was nearing—and becoming heated. Newspapers screamed, factions warred, and John Adams was dismayed with what he called “the wicked Game.” Americans in 2023 can relate. They still have to endure months of shouting, outrage, and the worst sort of political rancor as the country once again chooses its president. But it’s almost always been this way. And to prove it, American Elections: Wicked Game will review the entire history of presidential elections, from the unanimous and inevitable election of George Washington in 1789 to Donald Trump’s surprise electoral victory in 2016—and his contested defeat in 2020. From the host of the American History Tellers and American Scandal, this podcast will explore all 59 presidential elections to discover that there never never was a “good ol’ days,” and that presidential politics has always been played dirty.

A MUST LISTEN!!!

I started to listen to this with little expectations, and I was hooked on the first episode. I cannot recommend this Podcast enough! It provides a context for our elections, those who have run for election, the process and procedures of those elections, and a historical context I have not heard of previously! It is informative, entertaining, enlightening, thought-provoking and provides a better context to understand today's political environment. The biggest takeaway for me was that what we have seen and heard in the past years about our elections and system has all happened before. I guarantee that if you start at the beginning, you will be hooked and enjoy this as much as I did. Some of the things learned are not necessarily pleasant, but it is all presented in a fair and unbiased manner.

Engaging on all fronts!

I'm a huge history nerd. Studying the elections, especially after my sparked interest in politics (past the presidential election) back in 2016, has really given me further insight into how the landscape has undergone changes over the contests. Some things stay the same, too, but overall the stories of these elections are just fascinating to listen to.
