  • Isabella I of Castille
    In episode 1 of season 21 of the 5 Minute Biographies podcast, we explore the remarkable reign of Isabella I of Castile, whose marriage to Ferdinand II of Aragon helped create the foundations of a united Spain. From the final victory in the Reconquista to the launch of the Age of Exploration with Columbus’s voyage, Isabella’s rule reshaped both Spain and the wider world. We also look at the controversial policies of religious uniformity that continue to spark debate centuries later.

  • U.S. Presidents - 19 - Rutherford B. Hayes
    In the ninth episode of our second 10-part special season on U.S. Presidents, we explore the story of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th president of the United States. Rising from Civil War service to the presidency, Hayes won one of the most disputed elections in American history. His compromise to gain office brought stability but ended Reconstruction, paving the way for Jim Crow laws in the South. Though admired for his integrity and support of reform, his legacy is tied to one of America’s most controversial turning points.

Grant, the Civil War general turned 18th president of the United States. Rising from obscurity, Grant led Union forces to victory, ensuring the survival of the nation.

  • U.S. Presidents - 17 - Andrew Johnson
    In the seventh episode of our second 10-part special season on U.S. Presidents, we examine the life and presidency of Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the United States. Thrust into office after Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, Johnson faced the monumental challenge of Reconstruction. His opposition to granting full rights to freed slaves and his constant clashes with Congress made his presidency one of the most divisive in American history. Ultimately impeached but not removed from office, Johnson’s legacy remains controversial, marked by questions of leadership, race, and the balance of power between branches of government.
