{# Note: we used to preload most_recent_episode.image / homepage_feed.0.image here,but the homepage hero renders a CSS background-image of a different image(homepage_cover_image_optimized / banner_image), and the episode cover itselfis a below-the-fold, lazy-loaded feed image. The high-priority preload wastherefore never consumed ("preloaded but not used" in Chrome) — wastedbandwidth competing with the real LCP. If a hero image should be preloaded,do it for the actual LCP element, verified with pagespeed-analysis. #}C W Goodyear | Guest: Presidencies of the United States

Interview with C W Goodyear, President Garfield

Year(s) Discussed: 1831-1881On this episode, I am joined by C W Goodyear, author of the new biography President Garfield, to talk about the man who he described as "a pathologically reasonable person" and his navigation through the turbulent waters of Reconstruction and Gilded Age American politics to become the 20th US President. In our discussion, we talk about some of the key individuals in Garfield's life and political career as well as some of his achievements and failures. Believe me, there is much more to learn about Garfield than just his tragic end. More information about Garfield can be found on the website at https://www.presidenciespodcast.com.
