Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast
Pardon My Parsing Political Podcast is an upbeat, funny, and nerdy show with the goal of providing political and public policy information, education, entertainment. What we do that others podcasts don’t is take the words of the politicians – speeches, papers, and news releases - and breaking them down to the their basic form. A 25-page hour long speech becomes a 1.5 page outline after we parse it out. Then we discuss the facts, the message, and the overall impact of any given speech – while throwing in a few jokes.

The Queen vs. George Washington - President John Adams Eulogizes George Washington

Episode 34
With the death of the Queen we explore some of the speeches and messages around the death of our first President, and one of the best leaders of all time, George Washington.
The comparisons between the Queen's leadership and George Washington's aren't very comparable, but the words that are used to discuss these two leaders are. While the Queen's eulogies almost feel hollow (and we appreciate who she was as a person), George Washington's are almost underrated.
This is also our first speech from John Adams - this has enough personality that we will be doing more.
