Just released: DHP Bonus Episode #26!

FYI, I just published a plus-sized DHP Bonus Episode, exclusively for supporters of the Dangerous History Podcast at the $5/mo level & up!

A few weeks ago I had a long, 3 hr+ Zoom conversation with my good buddy Joshua of the late, lamented Dusty Den podcast.

So, for the listening pleasure of all the excellent individuals who make the continuance of the Dangerous History Podcast, I present this freewheeling conversation, just two honest guys trying to make sense of, and find sanity in, an increasingly insane world…
