Interesting Listen, Needs More Context

It is very interesting to hear these excerpts from presidential speeches, particularly those predating radio. But the presentation would be immeasurably enhanced if some context was provided for each speech: when it was delivered, where, and what it was about. The very brief intro’s, which are not particularly well delivered, are woefully inadequate.

Fascinating recordings

Very interesting to listen to especially the very early recordings of our late 19th century and 20th century presidents.

interesting to hear voices from the past

was enjoyable to hear these voices but some were hard to hear but was still interesting

Difficult to understand

I know these are rare and old recordings however first two recordings are ver difficult to understand. The bios are good but speeches very abbreviated.
