Hello! Welcome to the start of our exciting new podcast. We are going to decide just how interesting each president was. How were they as a statesman? Any scandal? How would their life play out as a film? What is their portrait like?
This is a lighthearted look through US history where we search for all those interesting facts about the men who shaped a global superpower. This episode however, looks at the time before the presidents. Find out what the people of Jamestown ate after they ran out of shoe leather, why the 50th thanksgiving must have been awkward (apart from it not being a thing back then) and just how unimaginative were the colonists when it came to naming things.

American Presidents: Totalus Rankium, or Jeffs in America. Great first episode! I look forward to seeing a British perspective on some of our semi-mythic leaders. Also props for mentioning Santa Fe, the only interesting thing outside of aliens and chupacabras in New Mexico.

Hi Jamie and Rob, on the settlements in South America that existed 15000ish years ago. The fastest way to travel was by boat and, wherever communities were, they could fish. During the glacial maximum, when it was icy, fish were doubly good. So fishing communities sailed over the “Bering Straits” and then spread far more quickly down the coasts than into the mainland. They reach South America at least 15000ish years ago. Several thousand years later, all the landlocked ice melts and sea levels rise. The global sea level rise of 70-120 metres (a lot) then submerged all archaeological evidence of these intervening coastal fishing communities between North and South. Taadaa?
