Very good podcast. The host, Emily Baucum, is excellent, and the Alamo staff members who join are impressive. Giving Justice Ken Wise’s Wise About Texas podcast (which is outstanding, by the way) some competition!

I’ve live in San Antonio for about 5 years and I’m learning so much. Schools should play this podcast to help kids learn this important history. Also, Emily is a fantastic interviewer!

I am 80 and retired in LA. I was born in Houston a 4th generation Texan. I’ve visited the Alamo since I was 10 years old. The Church was not so urbanized then and we could see the River which was surrounded by sandy shores. The Alamo is a shrine to me. Each time I enter the church I am as cold as the inside air. I feel the sacrifice that early Texans made for us. It is truly a shrine of ideals of freedom that we are duty bound to defend and keep
God bless Texas.
