    GROVER CLEVELAND'S NON-CONSECUTIVE SECOND TERM: Undeniably Un-consecutive, The Election of 1892
    Apr 27 2024
    Only one person has been elected President twice in non-consecutive terms. But it was not easy. To do it Grover Cleveland had to pass a few difficult tests. From Goody-Goodies to Anti-Snappers, to Anti-Egoists and Scarecrow Festivals; from entering opposing party contests in secret ways to placing bets for your own candidate, to pretending to run in states and letting a third party win, to taking forceful honest stands, 1892 had everything. It was a triumph of navigating complex steampower politics. The first being, did he really want to run again? We are part of Airwave Media Network. www.airwavemedia.com Our sponsor is Money Pickle.

    THE ELECTION OF 1916: Part Two - He Kept Us Out of War
    Apr 18 2024
    Both major parties have their conventions. The Democratic swashbucklers are at the podium, firing up a party to get excited about Wilson by linking him to a cause. One he didn't ask to be linked to. The Republicans get their party united, and toastmaster Warren G. Harding is fierce as he makes the case to dump Wilson. The Socialists also pick new candidates, a decision which may be as impactful as anything on Election Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: Part Two - The Case of Mario Cuomo

    NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: Part Two - The Case of Mario Cuomo
    Apr 1 2024
    They called him the "Hamlet on the Hudson." What series on people not running for President in American history would be complete without the former governor of New York Mario Cuomo. He was famous for coming ever-so-close to running for President. And then, not running. In one case, he left a plane on a tarmac for reporters to watch for hours. Was it politics? Was it bad timing? Was it preference for state government? What about those mob ties [real or imagined] that were talked about? And was it, just maybe, a kind a weird psychological thing? We examine it all, in detail, on this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
