• Special Presentation: Plodding Through the Presidents - Conspiracy Theories and the Corrupt Bargain with Mark Cheathem

  In this special presentation, I share an episode of the wonderful podcast Plodding Through the Presidents, in which hosts Howard and Jessica Dorre discuss the many myths, mysteries, and scandals surrounding the early presidents who shaped our country. In this episode from their archives, they explore the role of the Illuminati in the Election of 1800 between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and then they talk with Mark Cheathem, a history professor at Cumberland University who teaches a course on conspiracy theories, about the so-called Corrupt Bargain of 1824.
