You should review young washington, I would listen to that,
A really good podcast today with the Revolutionary War As a descendant of a New Jerseys militiaman who got wounded, according to family history, at the battle of Brandywine I look forward to hearing the next episode
James and his guests work well together. They do try to keep it light .,,sometimes a bit overboard, but overall well worth the time.
Listening to the podcast feels like hanging out with your beloved grandpa. James has a great personality that comes through in his wonderfully lame jokes and he is easy to listen to. He is not a stuffy professor, and I look forward to hearing every episode that comes out.
I have listened to this for years, and I have learned about other quality podcasts through this one. Highly recommend for history fans.
