  • Learned a lot about Nelson DeMille

    Thanks to your interview I will read more of his novels. May I ask how soon before his death you recorded this. The podcast seems to be from September 2024, the same month that he died. Thank you.

  • Loved it!

    This is the first Doug Brunt show I’ve listened to….so interesting. I totally understand the author’s love of research and digging through archives. It was the best part of college (many, many moons ago.) Looking forward to continued listening, and sparking my desire to get back to reading actual books again (way too much politics & X!!)
