As he enthusiastically announces at the opening of each show with theme music blaring… “My name is Dr. Thomas Lamar, ChiropracTOR and Dad of Seven!” On January 1st, 2010, this chiropracTOR — along with his then 9 year-old audio engineer son, Logan — launched Spinal Column Radio, an Internet radio program about “all-things-chiropractic.” Modeled after his longstanding community newspaper column, Lamar’s target audience initially was the lay public. Eight months later though, through a string ...

We all know Abraham Lincoln wins in 1860, and most know that it was because the Democrats split [except, in many states they actually got back together], that's what we know. But there's a lot to the 1860 election and this episode originally aired in 2020, we get into it. Sam Houston almost-ran. People called themselves woke. (well, "wide awake"). …

We look at the Anti-Masonic Party of the 1820s and 1830s from backwater movement to national stage and its lasting influence on one of the two major parties today, and on political conventions. Was it truly a conspiracy theory-based movement? What can it say about today's politics. And a candidate who didn't want to run for President. We look at al…

In the second part of our episode, we take a look at LBJ's actions around the 1968 convention. While we can't answer the hypothetical of whether LBJ was willing to accept a draft at the convention, we can see that his actions clearly hurt Hubert Humphrey's chances of winning that fall, and suggest a stronger level of involvement. Trusted aides diff…

We talk about Punk Biden - meaning the defiant Biden now placing himself …

With the help of "Reaganland" author and historian Rick Perlstein, we look at one of the most frustrating modern conventions. The fight between Ted Kennedy and Carter for the nomination, obscure rules challenges, delegates cajoled by genera…

Jimmy Carter's nominating convention in New York handed him 30 percentage points in the polls, and is seen as one of the best.

We know about the first half of the Declaration of Independence and life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But the Declaration also contains a listing of facts submitted to a "candid world" detailing what was wrong in the American colonies.

While there is a thing about first debates by incumbent presidents, clearly a pattern of not doing well, we may have just witnessed a trend-defyingly bad performance. But it still deserves a little context. So we will get into a few bad Presidential first debates - Reagan/Bush/Obama. But we'll also talk about this one. We talk about everything - DN…
