  • What If Lincoln Hadn't Been Shot?

    What If Lincoln Hadn't Been Shot?
    2025/08/18

    It's the biggest 'What if?' in American history: What if Lincoln hadn't been shot? The assassination could so easily have failed and things went so wrong in the aftermath (looking at you Andrew Johnson). Could Reconstruction have looked different with Abraham Lincoln at the helm?


    Don's guest is friend of the pod Aaron Sheehan-Dean, professor of history at Louisiana State University.


    Edited by Tim Arstall, produced by Freddy Chick. The Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.

  • American Traitors: Benedict Arnold

    American Traitors: Benedict Arnold
    2025/08/14

    Is Benedict Arnold the biggest traitor in American History? In this episode, Don is joined by author Stephen Brumwell to examine how Arnold went from hero to villain.


    How important was he to the Revolutionary cause? Why did he decide to go against it? And do his actions even count as treason?


    Stephen Brumwell is a writer and independent historian specialising in British-American military affairs of the eighteenth century. He is the author of a number of books, the most recent being ‘Turncoat: Benedict Arnold and the Crisis of American Liberty’.


    Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
