An interesting interview this week with William Geroux about German POW camps in the United States during WWII and the internal conflicts between N**i officers and some of their less fanatic subordinates. Pardon my cold, by the way! 😄

I finally got Gary on! We first communicated back in early 2016 about the possibility of him coming on the show. As a rule, he only does interviews about books that are freshly published, which is very understandable, especially when in the middle of a new project. One of my Patrons, Megan commented on Patreon that "hell has no fury like a woman scorned", and in Laura Fair's case, I think she is right on the mark!

I so enjoyed speaking with Lesa Carnes Shaul this week about a deadly shootout on Alabama's Sand Mountain in May of 1951.

Close to midnight on May 17, 1951, four north Alabama lawmen drove to a bootlegger’s home to serve an arrest warrant. Before the clock struck twelve, the bootlegger lay dead in front of the house he shared with his wife and eight children, and three of the four officers were also dead. Afterward, ...

My guest this week is Alex Hortis, who talks in depth about the tragic events known in 1844 as the "Christmas Night Murders" (even though they very likely happened the day before Christmas Eve day).
