DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES

... and now, Part 2 of our comedy-and-history exploration of Presidential inaugurations, transition periods, and various traditions. Join us as we find out what happened before the New Deal, Morning in America, speeches and letters, and the urge to 'move on' after what we may call less than good Presidencies. Thanks for joining us for these shows - please LIKE, SHARE, and explore our journeys we h...

Are you nervous about getting to January 20? Us, too! So we did what we do: created a show that explored all the fraught and nutty inaugurations and transitions in American history. We found so much intrigue and tradition and petty that it will take two Bonus Episodes to put it all out! Here's Part One, from the Adams/Jefferson imbroglio to the Wilson/Harding shindig, complete with facts and, well...

After a slew of Presidential trailblazers and precedent-setters, it's time at last for our series to recall and riff about one of the first Presidents you strain and stretch to remember actually was a President. Here's a Dutch guy with handsome facial hair, a grand-sounding name, and not much else except he actually did get the gig once. Remember for your trivia contests - it's time for one Martin...

There are Presidents who are important for their greatness, and Presidents who are important for ... other reasons ... but are still important. And hoo boy, does Andrew Jackson fit THAT description. The first President who had no connection to the Founding Fathers did a whole lot that has to be dealt with. So go get some of your favorite cheese - really - and join us at DB Comedy as we deal with A...

We return to our regular Presidents with John Quincy Adams - a semi-known President with a lot of Firsts: First Son, First Family Member, First President Thanks to That Damn Electoral College, First President Who Became FIrst Best Ex-President, and so much more!

DB Comedy interrupts our regular podcasts for our first SPECIAL EPISODE, wherein we do a deep dive into how various Presidents handled various wide-spread illnesses from the time the Republic became a Republic to just about now.

The fifth installment of DB COMEDY PRESENTS THE ELECTABLES feels good. Real good! So full of good feelings that a Doctrine was created to enjoy how good those feelings were during that era!

He was the first President who started a war and got the White House burned to the ground in the process - but we got an Anthem and a cooler White house out of it! And, his wife was really awesome! He's James Madison, and this is his podcast! The James Madison sketches were Written and Produced by: Gina Buccola Sandy Bykowski Joseph Fedorko Ramona Kywe Sylvia Mann Robert McCarthy Paul Moulton And...

Once upon a time, Thomas Jefferson was so revered as one of the most important of the Founding Fathers that he was literally put on the top of a mountain. And like so many other mementos, we now look and think "What were we thinking?!" Good question, and one DB Comedy jumps into with Episode 3 of DB COMEDY PRESENTS THE ELECTABLES - Thomas Jefferson! The Thomas Jefferson sketches were Written and P...

Whether depicted in Broadway musicals or HBO miniseries, John Adams is what is known by historians as "a grump." But how fair is that? Join DB COMEDY for a comedic exploration of America's first one-term President, and the first family to bear multiple members in the White House - that irascible Founding Father and relative to the beer guy, John Adams. The John Adams sketches were Written and Prod...
