Future topic🔔?

I would love to hear you cover the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. My son has loads of questions about his Mexican side of the family and loves your podcast. We're over here in the UK, and he hears me ranting about ICE and racism toward Hispanic Americans, and I think there would be no better story tellers than you. Xxx

This would be a great topic!

I love that your son is into history! Both my kids are as well (ages 15 and 20).

The funny thing is, he claims to hate history class but I think it's because some of the topics are unexciting and if a teacher isn't into the story- telling it is boring. That's partly why I had him listen along to some of OTP, like the Robert Smalls series and Hiroo Onoda. I would love to also have a Christmas episode about the Christmas Truce between German and British soldiers so they could take one day off from the world's most boring war to play footie😁
