- Excellent20- podcast!!!
I thoroughly enjoy these brief yet impactful episodes that delve into Texas, Mexico, and Spanish history, particularly the narrative surrounding the Texas Revolution, which reveals itself as more of a San Antonio revolution years in the making. Each episode, lasting less than 20-30 minutes, is both interesting and entertaining, showcasing in-depth research drawn from a multitude of sources. I listen to these engaging snippets daily during my commutes, and they never fail to enrich my understandi... more

United States4 months ago - I am not from Texas but Texas wants you anyway!
I just wanted everyone know how I enjoy the podcast “The New History of Old San Antonio/Texas”. I am from Germany and my husband is from Illinois ergo our education lacked Texas history entirely. We lived/worked in Houston since the late nineties but had no understanding of the cultural, political and commercial significance of San Antonio. We moved to the Hill Country to enjoy our retirement but did not feel a connection with the area until we listened to Brandon Seale. Bravo and Thank you for ... more
Apple Podcasts5Putter WagnerUnited States8 months ago - The Lone Star gets 5 stars!
As a fairly new arrival to Texas and San Antonio in particular, I fell in love with this podcast as a means to connect with my new home. As someone who grew up outside of Philadelphia, Texas history was pretty foreign for me or was peppered with tropes, myths and movie scenes. Brandon has a special gift for bringing the history alive. His respect and admiration for the characters in this colorful history is infectious. I still feel like an outsider but now I understand that all sorts of peop... more
Apple Podcasts5Dianna DiToroUnited States8 months ago - Top-notch storytelling
You may think you know Texas history, and the story of Cabeza de Vaca, but Seale does a great job of weaving details and information to make it all new again.
Apple Podcasts5CmokoUnited States9 months ago - Great introduction to Texas’ history
I was turned onto Brandon’s podcast by a friend. I have completed the first season and felt obligated to leave this review. Texas history was not something I received growing up outside Texas. While the focus of Season 1 is San Antonio, it really offers a great view of the territory from the original Spanish missions northern of the Rio Grande and gives you an idea of what is happening on all edges of the territory. Brandon is an excellent storyteller and has thoughtfully layered in foreshado... more
