    Episode 17: The Legend of the Sanada 10 Braves [Thanksgiving Special]

    Happy Thanksgiving! This episode is dedicated to you all, for I am so thankful for each and every one of my listeners. The Sengoku Archives would not be what it is today without your support. In this episode, we are talking about the Sanada Ten Braves, a group of ninja that served Sanada Yukimura during the Siege of Osaka. There is also a review for the 2016 film under the same name, so there is a Spoiler Alert for this episode! Got to playing around on Anchor and found out that background music can be applied so enjoy the new formatting of the future episodes to come! It sounds so much better to me, at least. May you all have a great Thanksgiving week and I will be back just before Christmas! ~Shawn, 11/23/2021 Our latest YouTube video: https://youtu.be/yN64hddWv00 Check out our Black Friday Sales!: https://the-sengoku-archives.myspreadshop.com
