I’ve been listening to this wonderful podcast for a couple of years now and I adore it. Well researched. Thoughtful. Each story told with care.
Mr. Fred’s passion is so obvious and I love that he takes the time to share it with us.
Even the outro makes me emotional as he always has something wonderful to say about people he’s encountered, or have joined the ranks, or he just gives some closing thoughts. I just love this pod—it’s like a warm, history nerdy hug!
One of the best civil war podcasts out there. I learn so much from every episode. No boring, dull voice, very entertaining!
I discovered Mr. Kiger and Threads on YouTube a little over two years ago while helping my late father find things on the civil war since his eyesight even with glasses would no longer allow him to read from his vast collection of books about the war. The stories brought him much enjoyment up until just a few days before his passing in August of 23. I still listen and think about him and the conversations we would have if he were still with us. Thank you Mr. Kiger and everyone at Threads for all... more
An absolutely fascinating podcast! It really brings to life the people who lived through such times, and covers topics most enthusiasts wouldn't be overly familiar with in ways that leave you amazed by the end. I heartily recommend you listen.
my favorite episode was the one on spies and telegraph wires.
