John Adams once said, ”There’s never been a democracy yet that didn’t die by suicide.” To which we ask, or was it... murder? If regicide is the murder of Kings, homicide is the murder of people, and herbicide is the murder of plants, then democricide is the murder of democracies. In each season of Democricide, sibling hosts Kenny and Heather will look at a different historical democracy and ask the question, who killed it?

Kenny Austin here - Season 2 of Democricide is still in production, but I do have something to share with you this holiday season, the fourth annual Friendsgiving Podcast Spectacular. Folks who have listened to my Abridged Presidential History podcast will be familiar to this tradition. For everyone else, It'll be something new! Four compelling podcast hosts sit down for a round table where each host gets to ask 1 question of each other host. Questions like: On the eve of the United States' 250th birthday, what ideas or facts from the revolution could use more emphasis today? Is there anyone from history your opinion pulled a 180 on as you learned more about them? If you could take any one president and swap their place with any other president, who would you swap and why? Join me for a merry discussion with 3 of the best U.S. / Presidential History podcasters you'll find: Howard Dorre, Plodding through the Presidents Jerry Landry, Presidencies of the United States Alycia, Civics & Coffee
