Hi everyone,
It’s been a while! If you’ve been reading my weekly history news roundups, you know that things have been a little crazy lately—I’m remodeling my house, I’m going back to grad school, and in May I lost a beloved cousin. All of that made me take a step back to heal and reflect on what I can give my energy to right now. Things are going to be changing a little behind the scenes, to make this podcast a little easier for me to maintain. Hopefully this will make it a little better for all of us going forward!
