Plodding Through The Presidents

Join history blogger Howard Dorre and his wife Jess Dorre on a deeply researched, deeply irreverent dive into lesser-known stories of the early presidents, founders, and their families. 

This season they’ll dig into topics like the secrets of George Washington’s Mount Vernon, the undeniable rizz of Aaron Burr, the feeding habits of John Adams, and the story of the first “third party” political party in America—and how it was formed because of a mysterious murder.

Listeners call the show insightful, delightful, hilarious, and well-researched: “Hardcore History meets The Dollop, if the hosts of the Dollop were married.” Their newest season as part of the Airwave Media network premieres February 13th—just in time for President’s Day.

HISTORY

The Nightingale of Iran

It was a golden age for Jews in Iran. In the 1950s, a religious Jew – Younes Dardashti – became a national celebrity, singing at the Shah’s palace and on the radio. In the 1960s, his son Farid became a teen idol on TV. They were beloved by Iranian Muslims. But at the height of their fame, they left the country. It has always been a mystery to our host Danielle Dardashti and her sister Galeet – Why did their family leave Iran? Now, in a documentary podcast series, the sisters reveal painful secrets unspoken for generations.
