So glad I found this podcast via History Podcast. New subscriber here, plus I posted a link and a post in my blog, http://www.thethinkingsoutherner.com . Awesome, and keep up the good work!
I heard it on History Podcast also. You need to continue with what happened after Lexington Green. I’m going to listen to your earlier podcats next.
Well the Lexington Green stuff was a bit of a shift from the charter—but it was well done.
