Offbeat and Lesser-Known Histories Schlocko Has Read for "The Electables" Podcast

Since November, 2016, my friends and I at DB Comedy have been creating a series of live performances and podcasts which mix serious history with comic sketches. The "American Presidents" series of biographies, curated by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Sean Wilentz, has been an invaluable source, but certain subjects, like Millard Fillmore's cult of anonymity and Franklin D. Roosevelt's passion for fruitcakes, have required more extensive research. The following books have all been edifying and enjoyable, in their own ways. Check us out at https://db-comedy-presents-the-electables.simplecast.com/.
