This podcast is so well done, incredibly produced, and super informative. Scott does such a good job and is so engaging with his dialogue, I have listened to the episodes so far at least twice as I wait for the next released. Great job!

Scott does a fantastic job transporting his audiences in a Time Machine to go back in time and relive the Civil War in real time.

As an immigrants’ daughter, my family did not share American history around the dinner table. We moved around more than a military family and somehow I missed out on the history. This podcast is great for anyone, educated or not so much, as I learned more from these podcasts than I did in any high school or college course. I consider myself an educated American with a post college degree, but every citizen ( or even aspiring citizen) could benefit from these podcasts. History repeats itself and I now have more of an understanding of “how” and “why” the Civil War happened.

“It’s never wise to simplify causes, the cause and effect model is a compounding one. Causes are often many and they may lie dormant for a while. They might spark others into existence and they never ever exit in a vacuum. If I want to stir up more trouble I should just make the cause something simple. Because what I’m actually doing is being simplistic and that’s not a good plan.” -Scott Holmgren If you enjoy podcasts about history or just enjoy learning about new things I recommend giving this one listen.

Whether you are a Civil War enthusiast, scholar, or new to the spectacular events of this period in our nation’s history - Scott Holmgren’s podcast is a great way to expand your knowledge of this era. Great insight and thought provoking commentary helps bring to life these events. Enjoy.
