The Civil War & Reconstruction - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have a degree in History and Political Science. I have been fascinated by the Civil War since I was young. I recently discovered this podcast and absolutely love it. I practiced law for 43 years and recently retired. I have been listening to a couple of episodes most days now. They do an excellent job of telling the history of the civil war. Each episode is clearly based upon meticulous research. The book recommendations are excellent. I highly recommend it.

I used to really enjoy this podcast, but ever since the Gettysburg and Vicksburg episodes, the pace has slowed to a crawl. There are months at a time spent on campaigns that had very little Influence on the outcome of the war (e.g., the campaigns in Florida and along the Red River). I mostly skip these and eagerly await the return to events that are of more than local interest.

This a a great history lesson on the US and the civil war. I listen during my long commute and on business trips.

Rich and Tracy are engaging and their preparation for each episode is outstanding

I’ve listening to nearly 100 episodes.
Give it. A try and you will be hooked too.

All the best

This is a fantastic podcast! I highly recommend it. Rich and Tracy are very knowledgeable and make it very entertaining. I have learned so much about the history of my nation. Keep it up guys, can’t wait for each new episode.
