Excellent podcast keep up the good work
Discovered this about 2 months ago so there is an awful lot to catch up on. already at 173.
This is such an easy listen and so well researched. It adds so much colour and depth to the history I already knew. Thanks.
Well-researched and engaging
I recently came across this podcast and I have been hooked ever since. I haven’t listened to all the episodes yet, but the ones I have are excellent. The book recommendations are great especially for Civil War buffs like myself. Rich and Tracy are an excellent pair and I love their contrasting accents, which, I think, makes it all the more interesting. Keep up the awesome work you two! ❤️
Fantastic
