    #12 - The Sound of Distant Guns III
    Jul 27 2026

    Many in both the North and the South believe the American Civil War is God's punishment for America's sins. By the end of 1862, the casualty lists had become impossible to ignore, and both sides began to realize that in this war, there would be no happy endings.

  • Columbus Reconsidered with Andrew Rowen

    Columbus Reconsidered with Andrew Rowen
    Jul 13 2026

    Andrew Rowen set out to write a new story of Columbus' journey to the Americas. He was going to tell both sides of the story. His now three-volume historical fiction brings the native point of view to bear, along with Queen Isabella's.

    Josh sits down with Andrew to discuss what actually happened from 1498 to 1502 and how the actions of Spain’s Queen Isabel, the Taíno Indian Chieftain Anacaona, and Columbus shaped events.
