The Forgotten Presidents: Before Washington

Before George Washington took the oath as America’s first official president, others held the title—men you’ve likely never heard of. In this episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, host Glenn P. Clinger III uncovers the hidden history of the forgotten presidents under the Continental Congress and the Articles of Confederation.

From Peyton Randolph and John Hancock to the controversial claims about John Hanson, we explore the shadowy figures who helped hold the fragile American experiment together before the Constitution ever existed. Were they real presidents? Or just placeholders in America’s journey toward true leadership?

Packed with intrigue, historical mystery, and political context, this episode redefines what you thought you knew about the birth of the U.S. presidency.
