2024 Introduction

[00:00:00] Scott: Hey there, history buffs and travel enthusiasts, welcome to Talk With History, your one stop shop for history adventures on the road. I’m Scott, your host and producer. Over the past 100 episodes of Talk With History, I’ve been exploring incredible places with my wife and amazing co pilot Jenn, a former Navy aviator turned historian.

[00:00:31] Together, we’ve taken our audience with us from the hallowed ground of Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, to Montana’s windswept plains of the Battle of Little Bighorn, where echoes of the legendary clash still linger. We want to take you across the Atlantic, delving into the rich history of London, England, and the revered beaches of Normandy, France, where the tide of World War II turned.

[00:00:56] Imagine the stories these locations still whisper. 

[00:00:59] General Dwight D. Eisenhower: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade. Toward which we have striven these many months, the eyes of the world are upon you. 

[00:01:07] Scott: That’s the magic of history travel, right? It brings the past alive. You can feel the weight of history, the triumphs and tragedies that unfolded across continents and centuries.

[00:01:18] Winston Churchill: We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. 

[00:01:29] Scott: And it’s not just iconic battlefields and landmarks. We also love diving deep into museums, uncovering hidden gems, and getting lost in fascinating exhibits. How many people can say they’ve seen President Lincoln’s top hat?

[00:01:42] Or walk through the room where Teddy Roosevelt was sworn into office? You can, if you want. And we’ll tell you how. But you know what makes history travel even better? Sharing it with others. That’s why we started Talk with History. We want to inspire you to embark on your own historic road trip. Whether you’re a Civil War buff or a Jane Austen devotee.

[00:02:04] There’s a historical adventure waiting for you. In each episode we’ll take you on a virtual tour of a historic location, sharing stories, insights, and maybe even a few travel tips. We’ll also interview experts, historians, and other travelers to get the inside scoop on the places to visit. So buckle up history lovers, get ready to discover hidden stories, explore iconic landmarks, and plan your next history road trip with Talk With History.
