We haven't been gone a long time, you have. Who's even talking about intermissions? What do you mean our podcast has been listed as "cancelled due to inactivity," I don't even know you anymore! 

Dennis and Aaron are back in another delaying tactic for season three of Presidential Death-Match! This week they talk about the presidential antics they got up to over the summer including: a decidely un-Coolidge-esque 5k, the pumpkin eating tendancies of the eternally mortal Pierce family, and skimming alternate histories of Hamilton becoming presidents. 

Enjoying easing back into the historical pool with this episode of Presidential Death Match! 

We're back with more interregnum material (we really should just start this darn thing.) 

CSPAN released their fourth survey of historians to rate our presidents: Dennis and Aaron comb through it to find where Trump debuted, where Obama is settling in, and who is the best at having administrative skills.

Presidential Deathmatch is back with another season two interstitial! In celebration of Dennis’ birthday and Aaron’s wedding anniversary New York city decided to have its mayoral primary today! Thank you New York for moving it up by several weeks to give us this wonderful gift. 

Aaron and Dennis discuss the current state of the mayoral race, nerdy voting practices, and two mayors of New York City’s past: the long-forgotten Fiorello LaGuardia, and the man whom every politician is compared to Richard Varick.

While season three continues to bake Aaron and Dennis pop in for a special episode of historical notes on the upcoming Pronoia production of God Kings III: Four Presidents Walk Into a War!

An original play of sketches covering the four presidents precedeing the civil war Four Presidents Walk into a War is the kind of humor you've come to expect from Presidential Death Match, but now there are more people besides Dennis and Aaron saying it! 

You can watch it at Pronoiatheater.com on June 10th at 8 P.M. CDT. 

We end season two by taking a look at the president who wasn’t here when we started: Joe Biden. What’s he like, how would we use him in a debate, and what’s the deal with Scranton anyway? We also take a brief look at why people care about the first one hundred days and find out where our vice presidents come from (obscurity.) 

We’re taking May off but we’ll be back in June with more stories of America Past!

Politics encourages a level of skullduggery and short-term thinking, and politicians are incentivized to sort people into camps that argue about emblems instead of trying to solve problems. In his new board game, Shasn, designer Zain Memon tries to encourage political conversation by using the player's political opinion as the main resource generator in the game. He joins us today to discuss the origins of Shasn, the characters of politics, and the film the game was inspired from, An Insignificant Man.

Dennis and Aaron make jokes. 

You can learn more about Shasn at: Playshasn.com 

You can watch An Insignificant Man here.

From a young age Jake White knew he wanted to poke the eye of God and sought higher and higher places to stand. This eventually led him to window washing the famous(?) Austin skyline, and he talks to Dennis and Aaron about falling from his line, suction cupping around the building, and whether people would recognize Lincoln without his hat.

It's a battle of the one-termers this week as Jacob and Alex from the Ginger on Ginger podcast join us to talk Montanans, being from Montana, how cold Montana is, and whether North Dakot is just Montana acting out. Sadly a ten minute conversation about Ninja Turtles was cut for time. We hope you understand.

We thought last week’s episodes foray into modern politics was contentious, but then we started slinging opinions about dogs! Dog trainer Nicholas Mandrell-Anderson joins us for discussion of training techniques, over-rated dogs, and the various animals named Pete in the White House. In the grand tradition of major parties everywhere Dennis poaches a third party candidate and hopes no one notices. It’s a grand old time this week on Presidential Death-Match!
