I’m a lifelong Georgian and I love the podcast. I did go to college in SC and discovered the radio show when my son was in college in SC. I do think that the podcast needs more episodes about the history of women.
I enjoy all of your cultural and historical programs, but I especially enjoyed today’s conversation with Dr. Kathleen DuVal about our colonial history with Indigenous Americans.
Thank you for teaching me so much about our amazing state! I’ve enjoyed your content for years!
I love the show because it was unique to South Carolina southern history, it seems like they are no longer interviewing true SC natives. The show is quickly becoming a show of people from the outside writing nothing but books about race and politics, very disappointing
Always enjoy the story telling of SC history and culture by well curated guests.
