History Highlights: Recent Episodes
History Highlights
Laura and I are starting a new podcast for you! We have received frequent feedback about our programs that many of you enjoy when we just chat off-the-cuff. So, we are going to host a series of discussions about various historical stories where we will chat about tales that we've researched, plus include some highlights of things we learn during our travels.
Since I am making great headway on my first historical novel, Laura suggested she interview me about the project, my process, the challenges, etc. and share a sample from the manuscript.
We are open to suggestions about topics you'd like to hear us discuss, so message me here, or email me at:
Bill@HistoryHighlights.com
Thank you for all your support. We are always searching for new ways to serve and delight you!
Enjoy!
All the best,
Bill and Laura
