I recently returned to college to complete a degree in history. I didn’t have a good grounding in CT history having not grown up here, this has been a great resource for learning all about Nutmeg state history and led me to lots of really wonderful sources for research topics and information.
I’m not from Connecticut. I’ve never been there, & probably never will, but I still really like this podcast. The host is great & the stories are always compelling.
These podcasts are little gems of local Connecticut historical information. It’s wonderful to hear the stories of our state in this long, detailed format, where subjects can be fully explored by experts. No more dry history in my world world as long as I see a new Grating The Nutmeg in my feed!
I love these. What am I going to do when I’m all caught up and listened to them all??? So many great topics and I learn so much about the state I live in and grew up in.
Love it!
