Are podcasts still available?

Dear Bob,
Have there been any new casts since May 31? Thanks for the great program and continued education.

Refreshing, fun, and jam packed with real history

I wanted to find a solid, historically sound, podcast on the Civil War and I hit a gold mine with Bob O’Conner. No liberal spin, no States Rights shenanigans, and no presentist political correctness. It is just straight history, with some historic interpretative dramas mixed in for the fun of it. I wish this podcast would have kept going longer than it did. I am very pleased to have found it. If you are looking for Civil War history without modern politics thrown at you, you have found it. Enjoy!

I’ve Learned So Much

Thanks to Bob, I’ve learned many new things about the Civil War. I hope that he will one day soon continue the podcast.

Great job and thank you for all your hard work Mr. O’Connor!
