  • Summary

  • Get ready for a wild ride through history with this Encore Episode featuring journalist, humorist, and history buff Cliff McCollum!

    Andy and Cliff dive into some of the most bizarre, unexpected, and downright ridiculous failed presidential assassination attempts in history—including the time Andrew Jackson beat his would-be assassin with a cane, Teddy Roosevelt shrugged off a bullet to give a 90-minute speech, and an attacker tried to hijack a 747 to take out Richard Nixon.

    But that’s not all—this episode is packed with sharp wit, unexpected facts, and even a deep dive into Winston Churchill’s legendary quirks (including his bathtub diplomacy). If you love history with a side of humor, you won’t want to miss this one!
