Thank you!

  • Background music ruins it

    Over dramatic. Perhaps you could offer a narration only version.

    This Canadian subscriber wasn’t even going to listen to the podcast about Elvis. I wasn’t a fan. I’m glad I did though. I found it very interesting. Also wanted to mention the actor James Stewart enlisted in the Second World War. Thanks Jon. I’ve listened to all the 1001 podcasts except the Wild West ones and have learned a lot of good conversation starters that usually begin, “Did you know…”Thanks so much Jon.
