Customer Reviews
The Duke Ellington podcast
I just got done listening to part three of your 3-part podcast about the life and times of Duke Ellington in Washington DC. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a great deal that I did not know anything about before. I look forward to listening to the rest of your podcasts and I hope that you will be releasing some new podcasts in 2022.
Time to Listen to a Great Podcast
The stories and interviews are excellent. Just got through with the two part episodes on the Soldiers Home and the friendship between Lincoln and Stanton. Has a great blend of history content and humor and you can tell a lot of work goes into each episode. If I ever make it to DC I’m looking the hosts up for a tour. Thanks guys and keep it up.
Great for history lovers of all ages
Very accessible- a great combination of factoids, interviews, and storytelling to make history come to life. Good for kids and adults alike.
