Beyond Mount Rushmore
Beyond Mount Rushmore dives into the stories your history teacher definitely skipped. Each week, we explore forgotten presidents and their sketchy scandals, bizarre executive orders, and historic near-misses. Plus, the facts are so weird that you’ll think we made them up.
From FDR’s final words, “I have a terrific headache,” to Eleanor Roosevelt’s lifelong “companion” in the White House, we’re here to prove that history is anything but boring. Whether you’re a hardcore history nerd or just love laughing at old dead guys’ dumb decisions, buckle up for a wild ride through America’s lesser-known past. New episodes drop every week—perfect for fans of dark humor, surprising trivia, and stories that Netflix wouldn’t dare touch. Hosted by self-proclaimed presidential historian Stan Nawalaniec (owner of three Warren G. Harding bobbleheads) and co-host Jeff Hickox (the voice of reason).
