With another riveting election behind us, it is time to begin the next series of in-between-election episodes, and Oh! It seems the women have had ENOUGH!

ELECTION #22! 27.02.2023

Goodness Gracious! What a journey! We've finally made it to the 1872 election after covering a small parade of candidates! And for an election that was a runaway easy win, there sure are a LOT of SURPRISING DEVELOPMENTS...

Ulysses S. Grant: The Toxic Ally To All! 19.02.2023

Well, what do we have here? The FINAL contender for this rockin' 1872 prezzy wezzy election? Oh, it's THAT man? What has he been up to as the cucumber of this one? I bet this REBROADCAST will serve as a wild refresher before you're hit with the NEW INFO at the 39:39 mark!

Thomas Andrews Hendricks: A Random Doofus Appears With A Steel Chair! 12.02.2023

I think we are truly getting close to the end of this 1872 candidate marathon. I really do. But fools like this one coming out of the woodwork to be a prezzy wezzy candidate does not help matters.

Horace Greeley: More Powerful Than A President!? 06.02.2023

This particular prezzy wezzy candidate for 1872 has a history of being like, arguably the most powerful man in America?? The dude's so powerful that everyone is hanging on his every word to the point where it's probably gonna get him in trouble later!

Charles Jones Jenkins: THIS fool is back? 30.01.2023

It's still 1872 and we're STILL going through some presidential potentials and I forgot this man even existed and of course when he comes back he's still committing inconsequential acts of unnecessary tomfoolery.

We are finally getting into the Presidential Suite of this 1872 election here and some Prohibitionist snuck into the room how did that happen? Aren't we like 40 years early?

Henry Wilson: A Hundred Years Ahead of His Time!? 02.01.2023

I am nothing less than astounded by the story of this final 1872 VP Candidate. This man was thinking BEYOND freedom and BEYOND just abolition. This dude would have fit right in for the 1960s. That's crazy to me!

Benjamin Gratz Brown: He's Radical About Civil Rights! 25.12.2022

Thomas Elliott Bramlette: A man so racist, he voluntarily switched political parties. 05.12.2022

We talk about a LOT of racist people on this podcast, but rarely is that the SPECIFIC and ENTIRE reason behind changing political parties. This 1872 VP Candidate is here to CHANGE that history...
