What an informative and interesting podcast ~ TWO THUMBS UP!
Love listening about the history from my home state in such a digestible fashion, and also love the Texas music to go with it!
It is refreshing to hear about Texas History that is not whitewashed, and doesn’t exclude the people and events that truly encompass real history. I cannot wait to hear his take on Spanish History and beyond. I also love the bonus episodes.
I discovered this podcast 2 days ago and the way Michael presents the stories is terrific, not to mention the music in the background. I used to live in Southeast Texas from the mid-1970’s to the late 1980’s where my elementary and junior high schools where we learned about the history of Texas for several weeks. Although I live in Louisiana now, I still call Texas as “my home”. This brings me back to it. I look forward to hearing more episodes down the road.
