The History Worth Saving Podcast
HISTORY WORTH SAVING - Here’s the story...the whole story. In 2009 I left television news and started an internet radio station devoted to telling the stories of our Airmen past and present. For the next ten years WarbirdRadio.com told amazing stories of the men and women who truly helped save the world. In 2015 and 2016, Warbird Radio was awarded the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio Television Digital News Association and had well over 1 million listens from fans around the world. In May of 2020, two months into the COVID19 pandemic crisis, WarbirdRadio.com experienced a catastrophic data loss that was beyond our control and sadly beyond any practical repair. For me, the loss was a “hand of God” moment - a strong push to begin the next chapter.
The previous two years I’d been living in the Middle East, quietly uploading shows across two VPN’s while trying to work around a strict authoritarian government. My time over there made me love my American home even more. One night while reading through the days news, I discovered a story about a study from the Pew Research Center (linked here). The data showed how the vast majority of Americans don’t know their neighbors. This really stuck with me.
Today our country is deeply divided. You can’t turn on the news without hearing something about “tribal politics” or “partisan efforts”. The real truth of the matter is - you can’t understand someone you don’t know. If we don’t know the folks who live closest to us, we’ll never be able to repair a national divide.
As a journalist, I wanted to do my small part to correct this problem. I launched HistoryWorthSaving.com to tell simple stories about the people, places and things around me. During 2019 I rolled out seven feature stories, then the day after Election Day, I launched the History Worth Saving Podcast. When WarbirdRadio.com disappeared on that cool spring May night, I decided it must be time to merge the brands. The stories told on WarbirdRadio.com were about men and women who rose to the challenge. They did whatever they had to do to save their way of life - the beloved country.
