    At the Brink: Presidents, Nuclear Weapons, and the Fate of the World Part 1, with Dr. Anthony Eames
    Apr 14 2026

    How have American presidents managed the most destructive weapons ever created?

    In this episode, Dr. Anthony Eames, Director of Scholarly Initiatives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, joins me to examine the history of nuclear weapons through the decisions of U.S. presidents—from Truman and Eisenhower to Reagan and beyond. We discuss the logic of deterrence, the rise of arms control treaties, and the moments when the world came dangerously close to nuclear war.

    How have presidents managed this extraordinary power—and what lessons still matter today?

  • In Pursuit: Rediscovering America Through Its Presidents, with Dr. Colleen J. Shogan

    In Pursuit: Rediscovering America Through Its Presidents, with Dr. Colleen J. Shogan
    Mar 31 2026

    What if today’s leading voices took a fresh look at the lives of America’s presidents and first ladies—searching for lessons that still speak to the challenges we face now? That’s the idea behind In Pursuit, a new initiative to discover history’s greatest lessons by revisiting America’s first 250 years and distilling insights that can inspire and inform our future.

    Bringing together former presidents and first ladies alongside historians, scholars, and cultural leaders, In Pursuit offers clear, accessible reflections on leadership, character, and civic responsibility—grounded in history, but aimed squarely at the present moment.

    In this episode, Dr. Colleen J. Shogan shares how this ambitious project came to life—and why revisiting the American story may be essential to shaping its next chapter.

Richard Lim is the man! I’ve been a listener for several years now, and Richard’s work is the most thorough I’ve come across. His interviews are amazing, but his solo episodes have more knowledge than I know what to do with. Richard inspired me to create my own history-focused page on social media.

The BEST podcast on POTUSes!

Very much enjoy this series. The story telling is great, podcast editing is high quality, and the historical facts are without bias from the several one’s I’ve listened to so far. I enjoy the length of each episode too, it’s a digestible format with the option to float between different presidents and topics without losing the plot. Great job guys!

Great quality with engaging topics
