  • Question?

    Okay, so I wasn’t sure were else to reach out to, so I’m asking here. I really hope to see some queer figures in the American Revolution, so I was wondering if you could find any? Sorry if this question doesn’t quite make sense. Thanks!

  • Echoes!

    Adore this podcast. The hosts are hilarious. I’m a New Englander, so it’s extra fun to see how much things haven’t changed here. Definitely seeing all the “echoes” of history! The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  • Love it - but lots of repetition

    I love the vibe of this podcast and how much I learn every episode - but I beg y’all to not repeat/recap so much stuff every episode, or have less interruptions during the storytelling! By the time I’m really into the story, the episode is over every time.
