Welcome to the Eric Mataxas Show!

Oh, it's you again, eh?

I guess you're real glutton for punishment, am I right?

When will you ever learn?

And now here's the host you hate to love.

The man who was the reason your friend sponsored your last intervention.

Eric Mataxas!

Hello, folks, this is the Eric Mataxas Show.

And I'm going to tell you something.

Hello, folks, this is the Eric Mataxas Show.

And as you know, I love history.

I've written a number of biographies, three rather large biographies,

and a number of volumes of shorter biographies, seven men, seven women.

I love the stories of lives, and I particularly love American history.

But I'll bet you that many of you have never heard of the following president of the United States.

Chester A. Arthur.

There are many people listening right now saying Chester Arthur was president of the United States.

Yeah, and I don't mean like in some quirky way, like he was technically the president,

while somebody was sick or in a coma.

He was the president of the United States.

We're going to hear all about him from the man who's written his biography.
