Volume control

Chris, seriously love your work. One thing that gets to me on your pod is, your lack of voice volume control. Your voice gets so low sometimes it’s impossible to hear. You keep talking long after you’ve run out of breath. It gets tiresome to turn up the volume when you’re speaking, and down when the guest speaks. Listen to the first 15 minutes of today’s podcast to see what I mean.

Great for novice Civil War history fans

The host (Chris) does a great job lining up guests and topics and providing context with the wide range of battles and perspectives. It seems there is such a treasure of official reports and first hand correspondence and this podcast leverages historians who bring all that alive.

Favorite Civil War podcast

This is easily my favorite Civil War podcast. The guests and content are always really interesting, and I invariably come away feeling like I’ve learned something. The little music at the beginning is the kind of delightful ear worm that ends up stuck in my head all day.
