In this episode, we explore the meteoric rise and fall of Martin Van Buren, and the rise of legitimate opposition from the new Whig party. With William Henry Harrison becoming the first President to die in office, the nature of presidential succession would finally be settled for good or worse by John Tyler.

Hey, y'all! We are finally back to kick off our new season with a trailblazer in politics, theatre, Zionism, and racism, Mordecai Manuel Noah.

Our special guest today is Professor Christopher Leahy, a leading expert on the U.S. presidency and American politics in the 18th and 19th centuries. His book, President Without a Party: The Life of John Tyler, published by LSU Press in 2020, is the first full-scale biography of America’s 10th president published in more than 80 years. Dr. Leahy has appeared on numerous podcasts discussing his work and he’s also the author of numerous journal articles and reviews in scholarly publications.

Carrying on the legacy of Jesus is something in which we should take pride and wearing the name “Christian” should have a noticeable effect on our lives.

1 John 3:2
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

We chronicle the life of "His Accidency" John Tyler, the first vice president to take over upon the president's death. Tyler refused to be an "Acting President" figurehead and butted heads with his own Whig Party as he aggressively and unapologetically pursued his own agenda, both politically and romantically. Also: Our countdown of the Top 5 Troubled First Ladies features lots of dead children, dead husbands, and influential astrologers.

President John Tyler was so hated, he was burned in effigy by his own party before being kicked out of the party and made into a political pariah. And that's BEFORE he committed treason.

Follow along as John Tyler sneaks into the presidency in a fluke, vetoes his own party's agenda to incur their wrath, engages in some of the most ambitious backroom political plotting so far, and then annexes Texas during his final days in office - lighting a 16-year fuse to Civil War.
