Informative, insightful and useful.
Will’s obvious passion for the Virginia founders and specifically the Lee family is infectious. One of America’s great founding families with great men at every turn. Fascinating storytelling. Well done sir!!
The Lewis & Clark epic was incredibly done. The detail, realism and expense throughout was as enjoyable as it was informative. I recommend anyone interested in the subject to list to this story in how Will tells it. He reached the heights of the best history podcast story tellers in his telling of the tale.
Will, not sure how to get ahold of you. Could you do an episode on Christianity in Rhodesia? I’m curious how that was with the idea of “tribes”. And our United States Identity with other cultures vs from a Christian mindset.
Love the show. Thanks!
After following Will on Twitter for a while I’m so glad I found his podcast. I have really been enjoying his Rhodesia podcasts especially the one with Rory Duncan. Will always has very knowledgeable guests and discusses topics of history from a perspective you will not get anywhere else.
