Matt Borders is one of the hosts of The History Things Podcast. I wanted to do a Christmas episode that talks about what Christmas was like for the common soldier serving in the armies. I couldn't think of anyone else who would be able to pull it together with little warning like Matt Borders can.
This is the last new free episode of 2020. We want to thank you all for listening. Since last winter we've had 1000% download growth. That's crazy and it makes us happy to know that this show resonates with you. We hope we've been able to entertain you while expanding your knowledge of the Battle of Gettysburg. May your holidays be COVID and stress-free and as close to normal as you can manage. Here's to a normal 2021!
