Jack Talcott
Welcome to Yesterday's Present. This podcast has been created to cover a variety of short historical topics in a variety of ways.
In this episode I detail the history of the first and only Greek Orthodox Church in South Dakota. I explore how it got here, its highs and lows, and its impact.
Today I present a short bit of research I did revolving around letters in the Dr. Bill Farrell collection at the Center for Western Studies.
This week I record the oral history of Wayne Rasmussen, a member of the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame who played for the Detroit Lions in the 60s and 70s.
On this week's episode I interview Dr. David O'Hara, professor at Augustana University and coauthor of Downstream: Reflections on Brook Trout, Fly Fishing, and the Waters of Appalachia. In our brief interview, we explore the history of both the practical use and sport of angling as well as fish populations.
