In 1944 my grandfather crossed the Atlantic to join the European Campaign of World War 2. Season 1 of this podcasts covers that letters from my grandfather to my grandmother during the war. This was the jumping off point for additional seasons focused on correspondence in other points in time on different topics.

Season 4: Episode 6: Myerstown Pennsylvania; March 16-31, 1955
In this season of Letters from the Past, we’re returning to the 20th century. Specifically, Myerstown, PA a small town about 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Instead of using letters as the primary source for these episodes, I’m using the journal of one woman who’s name is never directly given. Her husband’s name is John and her son’s name is Ronnie. The entries are short and to the point but give a glimpse into living in rural America in 1955.

Restarted listening today
While scrolling through my subscribed podcasts deciding what to put on during my run today I remembered this podcast and picked it for my workout. It's a pleasant listen for exercising and each season provides a fascinating slice of life for individuals in vastly differing circumstances and different eras. The focus on primary sources is great, though I wouldn't mind a bit more in the way of providing context in each episode, especially in the later seasons.
