I have been a True Tales listener for a few of years now, certainly since we bought our 1820’s NH home. I love the interviews, personal stories from Stacy and Daniel, and the ghost stories,’of course. I will miss Daniel as a X”cohost but love that Stacy will continue to share her personal house journeys and bring on knowledgeable, interesting guests. If you have an old home or even just appreciate them, this show won’t disappoint!
Stacy and Daniel do such great job in creating this happy place in the podcast world to deep dive into the Old House realm. I listen to gather info for a future when I might have the chance to work on my own old house (something older than my current 1960’s house), and the resources and personal advice they provide are impeccable. So thankful they create this resource!
Good practical advice if you’ve got an old house. I look forward to new episodes 👍🏼
As an owner of a house that identifies as an old house and a preservationist this has become my favorite podcast. Thanks to all involved!
I love and have learned so much from True Tales from Old Houses! Stacy's shows are always well researched, organized, informative, and entertaining! I live in a new build and have limited DIY skills but have listened to every episode. Each show gives me a stronger appreciation for older homes and the stewards that care for them.
