Best Genealogy Show

Podcast listener here and this is my favorite genealogy show. The interviews with real people about their own genealogical and historical research and discoveries are so fascinating. I’m always sharing these shows with non-geni friends and family (especially while driving), and they get just as excited hearing these stories as I do. Thanns for all the great shows and I’m happy to keep on listening and sharing!
