I enjoyed listening to your podcast on Mr. Merriam especially about Maybrook. My great-great grandfather built Maybrook. I got to meet Mr. Merriam several times.

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.
