Two weeks of Aaron and Dennis in a row?!?! What luxury. 

Dynasties are falling left and right these days so the fellows dig into some prominent families who failed to make the presidency, and their disappointing progeny and congeny (which I assume is the antonym of progeny.)

With the word "unprecedented" being thrown around with reckless abandon we check-in with our Archival Correspondant, Jessica Kelly Garrett, to talk the Presidential Records Act and why the people own information produced by our government. 

Meanwhile, we chat about two candidates who made a little too much trouble for themselves in the forms of national traitor (the Senate's words, not ours) John Breckinridge and the trying-too-hard-for-attention Jill Ellen Stein!

Aaron and Dennis are together again, apart! After the usual belly-aching they get down to the business of preserving Aaron's marriage in amber after his wife moved away. 

What lessons can be learned from the two stronger-than-normal third party showings of William Wirt and Robert Marion "Fighting Bob" La Follette (Sr.)?

After far too long we finally found the sword to transfer our power to emerge from our lunar dumpster and protect you from the machinations of boredom! 

Ned Dhonau joins the program to talk the Wizard of Eltar and suffer from technical difficulties on this episode that examines whether Union general Winfield Scott Hancock or transcendental meditator John Hagelin exemplifies the best and worst of Zordon.

In a tragically Aaron-less episode, we discuss who would make the best addition to the unusual array of demons described in the medieval Ars Goetia. Dennis argues against guest co-host Andrew Stout.

We're on the road and have no good equipment! Learn what little there is to know about Jefferson Davis' final home in real time. 

We've been plagued by technical problems! While we work on the once-and-future episode take a break with Aaron to learn about some sneaky things politicans are doing and the story behind the elecction of 1796!

Our surprising trilogy on the Libertarian Party comes to a close with the battle no one (but Aaron) is clamoring for: Ron Paul v Gary Johnson. Should we look to Populist Passion or Pragmatist Persuasion in this battle of the Also-Rans?!?!?!?!?!?

Aaron hijacks the podcast the way Mises Caucus hijacked the Libertarian Party: by showing up and doing the work. We explore the history of America's (currently) largest third party: the Libertarians, who have been going through a bit of change recently. 

Hang out on couches in Colorado, see what the Kochs are up to, and learn about America's real revolving door problem: Minor Republicans turning into Libertarians and back again all on this week's Presidential Death Match!
