These podcast episodes are a collection of historical characters that history has either forgotten or recorded very little of their incredible lives. Some of these people I had a connection with through my family; others have simply made an impression on me. All of these people led fascinating lives and if you are a "history buff" like me, you will enjoy their stories.

Really enjoyed listening to the interview with the author of In Freedom’s Shadow. Interesting to hear the inspirations, research leading up to the book, and his passion for delivering the details of history often not captured. The book is a great read on its own and the podcast adds to the experience. Hope to see more from this author in the future.

Thanks for another wonderful podcast. This one I shared with my Dad who will enjoy hearing about Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge - two familiar names. I told Dad that listening to this series is like listening to a good story on the radio. His sight is going, so audio entertainment is especially appealing these days!!
Well done

I especially enjoyed the interview for the Navy WAVES episode. This is a terrific podcast and is well with a listen to learn some untold stories that enrich our understanding of historical events.

These podcast episodes are a collection of historical characters that history has either forgotten or recorded very little of their incredible lives. Some of these people I had a connection with through my family; others have simply made an impression on me. All of these people led fascinating lives and if you are a "history buff" like me, you will enjoy their stories.
