Just a Quick Heads Up [2020 Q2 Break Notification] Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

Just a heads up that there won't be a new feature episode this week as I'll be taking a two-week break to prepare content for the next quarter. I plan to be back on July 3rd, with a feature story about Reconstruction just in time for Independence Day. I hope you'll join me then.

In the meantime if you're new to the show or haven't listened to all of the episodes, I invite you to go back in the archives and check out some of the previous episodes. Maybe not the first few as they were a bit rough.
