  • #150 Short lived Presidents (Part 2)

    This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!


    This week we’re discussing US Presidents who, through various interventions of fate, weren’t actually President for any great length of time. We’ve got poor old Zachary Taylor (1784-1850), unlucky James Garfield (1831-1881) and let’s not forget Warren G. Harding (1865-1923).


    Plus, what on earth did we do before the advent of eBay? Did you basically have to just be very fortunate if you wanted something obscure and niche? If you remember these grand old days, you know what to do: [email protected]


    And send us any entrepreneurial ideas you had when you were ten!
