Sometimes I really appreciate technology. I received an email from Frank Cirillo, a researcher at BackStory with the American History Guys. This is a history public radio program and podcast run out of the University of Virginia.  The program features three renowned history professor hosts and a number of interviews and calls from a range of people.

Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder might be interested in this recent podcast entitled, "Home Bittersweet Home," which discusses the home ownership as an integral part of the American Dream. Guests for this episode include:

Loren Moulds — Historian, University of Virginia

Richard White – Professor of History, Stanford University

David Edelstein — Film critic, New York Magazine

Covering a wide range of topics, BackStory with the American History Guys sounds like a fabulous place for history lovers to investigate and learn more. Projects in the works include an in-depth look at the War of 1812 and the social, economic, and health consequences of drinking in America.
