Traplord

Return of the king

Ben

Let’s gooooo

Matt James Rich

Thank you for this convenience. I hope Matt is recovering well.

chapotraphouse

yup, going to post them in order over the next several weeks on wednesdays like our regular mini series.

Mark

Hell yes

Daryl Dingman

Manifesting Matt’s return (boy, I hate to be *that guy*, and this is definitely not the place to field my particular concern, but I use the Pocketcast app(TM) to stream podcasts that I’m not a Patreon subscriber to and something must be wrong with the podcast upload for ‘hell of presidents’ itself because I have been wanting to listen to hell of presidents for months but it doesn’t load ever and I’m so grateful you’ve taken the time to upload an episode to Patreon because I really enjoy it) and it feels like it’s working, love to you all

Ezra

I'm experiencing the same thing, buddy

Mark

Came here to say this.

Robby Gross

Pocketcasts is a pretty good app tbh

Kevin

Thank you guys for finally uploading this! I’ve been doing my CHAPO catch up listen and was looking for this Without Stitcher, thanks guys! (Chris, I assume! Will will never be doing this, and Felix can’t even keep himself organized enough. Not to mention, Mat has enough on his plate with the new child and everything else! Thanks again Chris, your presence on Chapo is a much needed light and I didn’t think anyone could replace Brendan let alone make a presence of their own that was greater than his but you really have done it. Keep up the great work and here’s to 1000 more episodes to the Chapo expanded universe!!!!

Olivia Kali

I love this series so much I'm so happy to hear it again

Jon Erickson

Perhaps this was recorded before his stint in the hospital but I miss Matt and I’m happy to hear his voice. Get well, King. We’ll be here when you’re ready.

king_von_diesel

God, it's such a great series. Listening to this after hell on earth is such a jam

David

It was recorded/released two years ago.

Phil awful

Anyone know the song interlude at minute 33. I know I’ve heard it

P+M Gorski

Burning down the house by talking heads

Phil awful

Egg on my face. Thank you !

Christopher Mesler

Wait for the rest of it man, Hell of Presidents is so so fucking good. I've listened probably 5 times all the way through. Matt is a rare, rare talent and intellect. Truly generational mind, no doubt about it.

Kevin

Thanks for letting me know! Matts probably my favorite historian after maybe Caro or Perlstein, even though I only found Chapo from my love of Felix’s sense of humor I don’t think I’d be as well read as I am without Matt’s in-depth insights

Alec

Big fan of this series!

JR

Excellent series. We need a breakdown of Canadian PMs like this.

Trees

Are there more episodes of this recorded already?

Scott Brown

Amazing stuff. Y'all cover SO much territory so quickly, though, I really need to read these as essays (Hell on Earth, too). Can we get transcripts of these episodes?

Greg

Yea the whole series was recorded a couple years ago

TangiePower

The whole thing is on YouTube, the boys couldn’t distribute it (I think) because it was licensed Stitcher only. Which is would explain why it’s only coming to Patreon now.

opticpath

I’m not getting these HoP episodes in my RSS feed from Patreon. I use Overcast, but even the preview feed generated by Patreon and Acast don’t show the HoP episodes. Thanks for posting these, can’t wait to listen!

Congratulations, Matt and Chris. You've impressed my semen.

The Children of Jack Acid

You know they fought the War of 1812 because the British Navy was impressing semen!

The Children of Jack Acid

What I should have said is "What's long and hard and full of impressed semen? Answer: the life Virgil Texas must now lead."

Toshio42

Shania Twain, technically Canadian, having the last word on 1812.

Hey_Blinkin

My mind was blown when I heard that the one and only Nick Diamonds of The Unicorns does the theme music. Good job everyone.

This year I read the Aubrey/Maturin series (which I definitely recommend, especially if you like Peter Weir's movie adaptation!) and I was really glad I had listened to this ep of Hell of Presidents in particular for a recap of what the deal was with the war of 1812. There's a section in the seventh book where Jack and Stephen are prisoners of war in Boston that deals with domestic attitudes towards the war, particularly the fact the only thing Americans at that time hated more than the British navy was Irish people, lmao.

Tony Millionaire

Being a fan of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series, this is the only era I give a shit about

Matías Celasco

came to the comments section searching for this, thank you!

Reece Coren

ohhhhh so trump is to andrew jackson what william crawford was to thomas jefferson. it’s amazing how this system has literally been deteriorating since it started

Reece Coren

love JQA representing the voice of chapo trap house in the 1830s house of reps. rip legend. you would’ve loved Felix’s fascination with thomas jefferson fighting the barbary pirates.
