  • The First 100 Days (Some Sunday Context)

    The First 100 Days (Some Sunday Context)
    Apr 27 2025

    We're reaching the 100 day mark of Donald Trump's second term in office. 100 days has traditionally been a benchmark for assessing how productive and impactful a presidency is.

    Today, Jody Niki and Kellie get together for a "Some Sunday Context" conversation to look back at where the idea of "first 100 days" came from, and run through some of the more eventful starts to American presidencies -- from FDR to Lincoln to poor William Henry Harrison.

    Then, we discuss what from Trump's first 100 days will be remembered 100 months, and 100 years from now.

Interesting and entertaining

I have been listening since the first episode. It's my go-to evening show. I was never a big history buff or fan of politics until 2016. This show made me realize how far we've come and how little progress we've made.
