About the Podcast
Say the name Ronald Reagan and you will get cheers, boos, complaints or love. You will rarely get silence. In this podcast we look at why Reagan set the tone for politics today, what happened during his Presidency, his highs and lows, and how his image today may differ from how things were in his time. In 12 episodes, each with a different angle, Bruce Carlson, creator of the My History Can Beat Up Your Politics Podcast, looks at Reagan's presidency.
