I really love the episodes and the walking tours Thank you for this
Okay .... This podcast is “very interesting”. .......
Each episode is so well researched and presented. This is a treasure trove of history with interesting stories about many Philadelphians. I love listening to it and always learn a lot! Thanks to Joe Lex for all you do to make this a great podcast.
It’s obvious that Joe Lex loves what he’s doing as a volunteer podcaster and puts in a lot of time and effort to come up with fascinating stories and lots of interesting historical tidbits that make for a compelling listen. Some of his personal accounts and the obvious relevance of the modern results of those historical events add a lot. Most of the stories are not only of interest for Philadelphians. Folks should try a few episodes and I’m sure that they’ll find things they’ll enjoy.
