  • Great History Podcast

    This is a great podcast about a region and history that is not often covered. Also the host has a velvety southern drawl which makes it even better to listen to.

  • SW adventures and history we yearn for

    I am so happy I came across this podcast after reading a book about Everett Ruess. The listener is guided through 4 episodes of the tragic ending of a lonesome teenage desert drifter who is a writer, poet, and artist of the SW four corners region in 1931-1934. Traveling with numerous burros, sometimes a rez dog, meeting people of the Hopi and Navajo tribes, archeologists, local small town residents and the landscape itself.

    Can’t wait to hear so much more history of

    the SW in which I live and... more

    TWR continues to amaze at the quality and quantity of information, delivered in a thorough and engaging manner. The output has one wondering if there are actually 2 or 3 of him doing the work?!! How does one so young gain a lifetime’s worth of experience? I imagine it’s from the double blessing of intense curiosity and work ethic.

    TWR delivers the material in an easy-going tone, as if it were being imparted around a campfire-occasionally diverting to relate personal amusing stories. He often ... more

  • Perfect for those curious about the Native American culture

    Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I am so hungry for this knowledge, yet can’t read a book AND paint at the same time. I wished that someone would just keep telling me about the archeological and anthropological history, without being on Youtube. I am very grateful to you and love how you go into details and read from sources. I want to know everything I can about the Native American Culture of North America, as this is the land where I live, and as a human, I wish to develop a deeper... more
