Enjoyable podcast
I'm far from a Lincoln expert, but live in Springfield Illinois and have read a few books from a list recommended by David Gergen. I truely enjoyed this podcast and am only disappointed in the fact only two are posted. By way of criticism, I'll only say pronunciation of some of the names of locations in Illinois were inaccurate, but Illinoisians seem to have their own way in this respect. May I recommend you call and speak with someone from our Sangamon Valley Collection at the Lincoln Library (Springfield's Public Library, not to be confused with the new Lincoln Presidential Library). I feel certain the staff members would be happy to help with the pronunciation of place names. Thanks for the podcast and take care. Bill
Wonderful
