À propos de cet audio

 This podcast is devoted to exploring presidential history from the founding of the office in 1789 on through the present day. I plan to take a systematic approach to both the people and the events that have shaped and reshaped each administration and the office in general.All Rights Reserved 2022-23 Monde

    SATT 032.2 - William Wirt Part Two
    Sep 14 2025
    Tenure of Office: November 13, 1817 - March 4, 1829 After making a name for himself in some high profile cases as well as his literary endeavors, William Wirt became the 9th US Attorney General and would ultimately prove to be the longest-serving person in that post to date. What did he contribute to the two administrations that he served and how did he transform the office of Attorney General? Join me and my special guest, Howard Dorre of Plodding Through the Presidents, as we explore Wirt's Cabinet tenure. Sources used for this episode can be found at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com.

    SATT 032.1 - William Wirt Part One
    Aug 24 2025
    Tenure of Office: November 13, 1817 - March 4, 1829 After a childhood marred by tragedy and drunken nights of Shakespearean recitations in a state of undress as a young adult, William Wirt went on to become one of the most well respected lawyers of the Early Republic, serving as legal counsel in some of the highest-profile cases of the time including the trial of George Wythe's alleged murderer and the treason trial of Aaron Burr. Why then isn't he better known in the modern day? Join me and my special guest, Howard Dorre of Plodding Through the Presidents, as we try to answer that question!
