  • Oh my gosh! New Favorite!

    Hard to combine wonderful storytelling with really good research and your shows really do this. I was wondering if you knew anything about Edward Knox who won the congressional Medal of Honor at Gettysburg? He

    Was part of the Fighting Irish brigade out of NYC, and apparently got his medal using VERY New York tactics..(I’m a native NYer.) Thanks! Please keep up the wonderful work!!

    I love the positivity of this podcast and the inspirational stories about the various Medal of Honor recipients. I don't think there is a story by which I have not been moved. Such phenomenal people. A lot of research obviously goes into each episode as well.
