Last episode we talked about the Continental Congress and the men who presided over it. America moved on into the era of the Articles of Confederation and we have... more presidents!
Plus, we talk about George Washington's legacy and how cool of a guy he must have been.

There are plenty of people who try to say that George Washington wasn't the first president because the Continental Congress elected leaders to preside. We disagree... but we still think those guys were pretty important - so let's talk about them!

Horace Greeley was a major influencer in the political scene of the late 1800s. However, most of us have never even heard of him!
We kept seeing his name pop up and figured it was probably time to investigate him. Plus, he has an insane amount of neck and bear hair and we can't really determine which one is which...

We're (basically) done with primary debate season and are nearly to the general election debates here in 2016. So... we thought it would be a great idea to talk about the history of debates, how they work and who gets to be involved!
In addition, we're also celebrating our ONE YEAR anniversary as well as 100,000 downloads. Thanks, everyone!

We've talked about Henry Clay a BUNCH on Election College, but he's never gotten his own episode. We figured it was time we changed that and gave this political juggernaut the episode he deserves.

It's time to hear about those crazy Whig folks. Henry Clay was one. Abraham Lincoln was one. John Quincy Adams was one. Thomas Jefferson was NOT one.

It's about time we talk about someone besides Democrats and Republicans (and Whigs) already! So, how about the Libertarians? If you like the idea of the government keeping their nose out of your business, you might like the Libertarians.

Political corruption and collusion didn't happen back in the good ole' days did it? Everything was perfectly great and no-one ever got paid off, threatened or coerced into anything! Yeah... that's how it went.
Nope.
Meet Tammany Hall. The New York political machine.

Alexander Hamilton is one of our favorite guys to talk about... mostly because we've been calling him 'The Wizard of Oz' for about a year!
However, we thought it was about time we call him by his real name and give him the episode he deserves... plus we can't get this dang musical about him out of our head!
Come along with us as we talk about the one guy who arguably had the most influence in presidential elections while never running in one!
