I took a tour with Chris the day before you recorded. What a surprise to see him on the podcast! I really enjoy your pod, but to be honest, the sound quality is just horrible. It’s time to upgrade your equipment!
Listening in to John and Tom talk about Antietam is enjoyable, entertaining and enlightening. It would be ridiculous to expect a daily podcast with all the work that is done in research, but I sure would love it!
I listen to this intermittently. The biggest problem is that most of the time some of the speakers sound like they are across the room from the Microphone! I thought after 56 episodes this would have been solved. Also be careful! When I heard the voice of Mr. Gottfried, I thought I was listening to Dana Carvey do Chuck Schumer.
Been listening to these guys from day 1…the content and format has been great from the start and somehow continues to get better!
Great podcast

A history-focused interview show that centers on the Battle of Antietam, the Maryland Campaign, and Civil War history more broadly, often featuring authors, battlefield guides, archivists, and museum professionals. Episodes blend author deep-dives, battlefield tours, preservation talks, and discussions of maps, primary sources, and memory. A standout trait is the consistent emphasis on primary research, material culture (maps, letters, farmsteads), and public history—often tying scholarship to field trips, preservation efforts, and public engagement. The hosts' journalist background adds a narrative, story-driven dimension to scholarly discussions, and sponsorship from Civil War Trails reinforces a practical, site-focused angle for listener... more
