<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:18</time>
<p>Welcome to Talk With History.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:20</time>
<p>I'm your host Scott here with my wife and historian Jen.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:22</time>
<p>Hello.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:23</time>
<p>On this podcast, we give you insights to our history inspired world travels</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:26</time>
<p>YouTube channel journey, and examine history through deeper conversations</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:30</time>
<p>with the curious, the explorers, and the history lovers out there.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:35</time>
<p>All right, Jen.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:36</time>
<p>So the title of this podcast episode is probably pretty obvious about what we're</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:39</time>
<p>gonna talk about, 2026 in advance, the 250th anniversary of this great nation.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:44</time>
<p>before we get into 2026, we want to briefly recap 2025.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:48</time>
<p>it was a big year for us.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:49</time>
<p>we finally hit 50,000.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:51</time>
<p>So that was the year that we hit 50 K, almost crossed at 55.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:54</time>
<p>I think by the time this comes out we may be there, but that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:57</time>
<p>was a big milestone for us.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:00:58</time>
<p>I think kind of halfway to that, that a hundred K mark man, maybe</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:02</time>
<p>we'll get lucky this year, and this will be the year that we hit that.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:05</time>
<p>So 2025, we did a whole bunch of stuff.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:08</time>
<p>You started working for American Cruise Lines, so you got a lot of opportunities</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:11</time>
<p>that kind of came out because of that.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:13</time>
<p>For some interesting content.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:15</time>
<p>and we had some, we started building some plans for the upcoming,</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:19</time>
<p>I'd say like next year or two.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:21</time>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:22</time>
<p>So we wanna say thank you to those 50,000.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:25</time>
<p>Everyone who follows us supports us.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:28</time>
<p>We are so appreciative.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:29</time>
<p>We are one of these slower growing channels.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:33</time>
<p>But it's really grassroots and we appreciate all of you because I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:36</time>
<p>feel like it's very authentic and we just appreciate everyone has</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:39</time>
<p>come along this journey with us.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:42</time>
<p>working for American Cruise Line has been fantastic.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:44</time>
<p>I am the historian on the cruise, so I do a history talk every night about</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:48</time>
<p>where we're going, and then the next day we spend the day in that area.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:52</time>
<p>I've been able to make content.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:54</time>
<p>In those areas and some places that would be a little bit harder to travel to.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:01:59</time>
<p>this year, looking forward, I have all new places to go and it</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:03</time>
<p>coincides with a lot of this 250th anniversary of America stuff.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:07</time>
<p>So it's gonna be really great.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:08</time>
<p>one of the things we started This year was the lifetime</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:12</time>
<p>membership option to support us.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:14</time>
<p>I've toyed with different things over the past couple years about</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:17</time>
<p>subscriptions and newsletters</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:19</time>
<p>I decided to consolidate it all, make it easy on you.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:22</time>
<p>the listener and the watcher and have one lifetime membership.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:25</time>
<p>you don't have to pay for a lifetime membership.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:27</time>
<p>you can just, you know, tip us a couple bucks if you wanna</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:30</time>
<p>just buy us a cup of coffee.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:32</time>
<p>but if you go to the history road trip.com, because that's really</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:34</time>
<p>what we are inspired to do is, is get out there, see the history for</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:38</time>
<p>ourselves, go to the locations and we want you to do the same thing.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:41</time>
<p>So if you go to the history roadtrip.com, you can see a way</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:45</time>
<p>to buy us a cup of coffee, tank of gas, pay for a lifetime membership.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:48</time>
<p>And we may even have some higher tiers in the future.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:51</time>
<p>But that is one place that we've really started support and we got our</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:54</time>
<p>first few lifetime members on there.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:56</time>
<p>we really want to say thank you to those lifetime members who joined us.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:02:59</time>
<p>it's a one time thing.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:00</time>
<p>I was kind of tired of the subscription model.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:03</time>
<p>I'm not wild about that.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:04</time>
<p>And so we wanna do a one-time fee.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:06</time>
<p>Now that fee may go up in the future, Now is the time where</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:11</time>
<p>it's ever gonna be the lowest?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:12</time>
<p>it's probably only gonna go up.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:13</time>
<p>'cause as we grow, there's bigger things that we wanna do.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:16</time>
<p>but it is one time thing.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:18</time>
<p>You pay for it once the folks who've already paid.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:20</time>
<p>That's it as long as we're doing this, they'll get that behind the scenes access.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:24</time>
<p>we have a private Facebook group just for the lifetime members.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:26</time>
<p>I've started posting some things there, on some future long-term plans.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:31</time>
<p>Our lifetime members will have access to that as well as any other</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:34</time>
<p>kind of exclusive future content.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:35</time>
<p>whenever we can make it and fit it in.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:38</time>
<p>sometimes it'll be live from a historic location or Something that doesn't</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:41</time>
<p>quite fit in a structured video.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:44</time>
<p>Or a structured podcast.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:45</time>
<p>Yeah, and think about our whole mission is to get you out into history.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:49</time>
<p>Our whole mission is to get people outside into the history</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:53</time>
<p>that's in your own backyard.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:54</time>
<p>Get active, get off the screen, connect with your family, connect with</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:03:58</time>
<p>friends, connect with other history lovers like you The whole point of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:02</time>
<p>us doing this is not just explore locations, which is great, but as a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:06</time>
<p>historian, as a credited historian, I tell you why this matters to you.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:11</time>
<p>how does this impact you?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:12</time>
<p>Why should you care about this?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:13</time>
<p>I give you the facts behind the places you're visiting, you could be like, I</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:18</time>
<p>always wondered about this location.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:20</time>
<p>I always wondered why this was so important.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:22</time>
<p>Well, I explained to you why that is so important and it just coincides</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:27</time>
<p>with the really great year of American history, the 250th birthday.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:31</time>
<p>we plan to kick off the 4th of July in St. Louis at the gateway arches, the gateway</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:36</time>
<p>to the West because we are starting this amazing road trip of Route 66.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:41</time>
<p>it's the hundredth year anniversary of Route 66.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:44</time>
<p>these anniversaries just coincide.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:46</time>
<p>So this is the gateway to the west.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:48</time>
<p>This is the road that took Americans Across America.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:52</time>
<p>And so we're gonna do the history of that and take you to those locations.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:55</time>
<p>Again, why should you care?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:57</time>
<p>Why does this matter to you?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:04:59</time>
<p>What impact did Route 66 actually have on America?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:03</time>
<p>And what was it born from?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:05</time>
<p>We're gonna be doing all of that in this coming year.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:07</time>
<p>if you wanna support us just know that everything you give to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:09</time>
<p>the channel goes to the channel.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:12</time>
<p>And, and, you know, this is the labor of love and we really, really</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:16</time>
<p>appreciate all the support we get.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:18</time>
<p>So, what else are we doing, Scott?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:19</time>
<p>yeah.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:20</time>
<p>So the road trip is the big one, right?</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:21</time>
<p>That's the big project.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:22</time>
<p>I'm gonna take a couple weeks off work.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:24</time>
<p>I try to do that every.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:27</time>
<p>Five years if I can.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:28</time>
<p>I would love to do that more often, but the Navy doesn't, always allow that.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:31</time>
<p>so the road trip is the big one.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:32</time>
<p>if you're not following us, if you're watching, if you're</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:34</time>
<p>listening, definitely follow along.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:36</time>
<p>we're gonna start that in July, film it for a couple weeks and,</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:40</time>
<p>and then obviously the content will start coming out after that.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:42</time>
<p>Some of the other things that we're doing in the, within the local</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:45</time>
<p>area, I'd say the mid south, type area is we're expanding our radius</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:51</time>
<p>around the Memphis, Tennessee area.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:53</time>
<p>So we're going up to Arkansas.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:55</time>
<p>I'm excited to do some Johnny Cash history.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:58</time>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:59</time>
<p>I think you said Tennessee Williams.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:00</time>
<p>you had a whole list of things that you wanted to do.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:03</time>
<p>We're gonna be hitting this radius, so we're gonna be doing</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:05</time>
<p>some Mark Twain Little Rock nine.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:07</time>
<p>We're gonna do, Johnny Cash, we're gonna do some Meridian Mississippi.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:10</time>
<p>So Mississippi burning.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:12</time>
<p>So a lot of the civil rights stuff, 'cause in Memphis there's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:15</time>
<p>a lot of civil rights influences.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:16</time>
<p>Here, Ida B. Wells, she's from Holly Springs.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:20</time>
<p>people love to talk about Ida B. Wells for Women's History Month,</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:23</time>
<p>but not know a lot about her, so I wanted to get more into her life.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:27</time>
<p>Helen Keller is from close by here.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:30</time>
<p>We're gonna do Harper Lee.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:32</time>
<p>And so just gonna be a lot of stuff with the radius here of, the Memphis area.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:37</time>
<p>But, with the American cruise line, I hope to expand on some Lewis and Clark.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:42</time>
<p>Yeah, so that'll be really great.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:44</time>
<p>Maine.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:45</time>
<p>It'd be my first time going into Maine.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:47</time>
<p>if you have any suggestions about Maine or what you're interested in seeing</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:50</time>
<p>in the state of Maine, let me know.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:51</time>
<p>we're gonna do Ohio River, so it'll be Kentucky Derby, some Pittsburgh,</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:56</time>
<p>which we have some Pittsburgh videos, but more and of course, long Island</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:00</time>
<p>I visited Long Island when we did Michael Murphy and when we talked about he's the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:04</time>
<p>only Penn Stater to receive the Medal of Honor from the movie Lone Survivor.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:07</time>
<p>I drove out to Long Island.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:08</time>
<p>it was my first time ever doing that as an adult, and I realized how much</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:13</time>
<p>Revolutionary War history is out there.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:17</time>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:17</time>
<p>In the Long Island</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:18</time>
<p>area.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:18</time>
<p>It was amazing.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:19</time>
<p>And so I asked for one of those cruises.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:22</time>
<p>So I will be doing one of those cruises, doing some 250th Revolutionary War</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:26</time>
<p>history out there, and just know that that's where, Washington's greatest</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:30</time>

<p>If you're a fan of the channel, you know the Chesapeake Bay, like the back</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:39</time>
<p>of our hand, So it'll be Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Annapolis,</p>

<p>all those things we know so well.</p>
<p></p>

<time>00:07:52</time>
<p>I was on a podcast with John Kiriaku and if you know anything</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:54</time>
<p>about him, he's a former CIA agent.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:56</time>
<p>The podcast is called Deep Focus</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:58</time>
<p>and he was actually on Joe Rogan's podcast talking about his time in the CIA and he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:03</time>
<p>has suggested we do a video together of CIA agents who are buried in Arlington.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:09</time>
<p>So when I'm up there, we're actually gonna make a video together.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:12</time>
<p>if you're interested in some of those stars.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:16</time>
<p>In Langley, we're gonna be talking about some of those people who are</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:20</time>
<p>buried in Arlington and some of their career that we can actually talk about.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:08:24</time>
<p>And, and I'm gonna do it with an actual CIA agent.</p>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:03</time>
<p>called i ask history.com.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:06</time>
<p>and right now we have a survey that's live over there.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:08</time>
<p>It's very short.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:09</time>
<p>It's like two minutes.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:10</time>
<p>And it's a freeway to support us, go to iask history.com and you just</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:15</time>
<p>kinda tell us what history you like.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:16</time>
<p>Seven questions takes less than two minutes.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:18</time>
<p>When you finish it, there's actually a, like a link to a never before</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:22</time>
<p>scenes video of Jen's, quick Tour.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:25</time>
<p>It's a very short tour of London's Tower Bridge.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:28</time>
<p>And so that was actually pretty neat because we never published that one.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:30</time>
<p>It it was always been unlisted, but if you go and do that.</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:09:33</time>
