Just wanted to say “Huzzah!” Didn’t really believe it when the second episode started downloading. I enjoyed listening to episode.
It occurred to me that you left out westerns pretty much in general as a genre or subsection of history, except for your mention of Deadlands.
Thanks,
Tim

Actually, Tim, we were saving Westerns for a Western special edition. Oh. No, not really.
But thank you for reminding us. We’ll mention it in the next show.
