Podcast Appearances
I went for many walks and like to listen to a variety of different things, podcasts and music.
And it was just a wonderful way to occupy time in what was obviously a pretty tricky time of our lives.
This is a commercial for the rest of history, I guess.
We're all in favor of that.
What I love about it is that, one, it gives me the ability to tap into things that I've already been interested in.
and that I know a little bit about and you teach me more, but you also introduced me to subjects that I wouldn't have been even curious about.
The recent one about Marie Antoinette comes to mind.
On the other hand, I was always fascinated with the Titanic and your multi-parter on the Titanic filled in so many blanks for me and created so much more context.
I also am an aficionado of certainly American history, particularly American presidents.
So the assassination of Lincoln comes to mind as one that I was particularly interested in.
One I recently listened to about Reagan and the attempt on his life.
I also found interesting looking back, I think, at 1968 and Nixon and the anti-Vietnam movement.
And of course, Custer, which was one of the all-time greats.
I don't know, is that over yet?
I don't know.
He eventually died, fortunately, I guess.
I've studied and read a lot about Churchill, and I know you've touched on Churchill here and there, but I don't think you've ever done a full birth to death of Churchill.
He was maybe a larger-than-life figure to Americans, too, at least Americans born when I was born.
I was born in 1951.
