I have enjoyed every one of these productions in the world before our country’s horrible Civil War. All of the true figures, historical facts, etc., along with the soundtracks are simply incredible and whisk you back to the times they are acting out. You feel like you ARE the woman whose story is being portrayed!! Great job to everyone, in bringing Author Heather Blanton’s stories to a new light and life! 📕♥️🤗

Not typically an audio drama listener but this is great! There are so many amazing details in the sound that it makes it truly an immersive experience.

I’m not one to listen to stories on podcasts but this one has made me think differently. Each story is short, well told, and I’m actually leaning so much about the history of the Revolutionary War and the women who had a part in it. Each episode continues to teach and entertain me. I look forward to it each and every week.

This podcast is not what I was expecting because it actually turned out to be way cooler. I knew it was going to cover some lesser known historical figures, but it goes so far beyond somebody just reading a historical account and tossing in a few sound effects for big moments. The actors, the sounds, and the music for this whole thing are next level. Been loving the range of stories and how they’re all rooted in real history. Looking forward to more!
