The American History Podcast, Season 1, Episode 5, The Southern Colonies, Part 1.

Welcome to the American History podcast.

Hosted by Sean Worswick.

Before we get started, just a few housekeeping items.

If you aren't aware of it, this episode was initially recorded back in September 2017.

Now, while I might know some history, I know nothing about sound editing.

So admittedly, the sound was amateurish at best.

Thankfully, listeners stuck with me, and I've got a sound editor now who knows what he's doing.

So in honor of the third anniversary of the show, I'm redoing all of those early episodes from season one.

Mainly because, quite honestly, they are embarrassingly bad when it comes to the sound quality.

And the last thing I want is to have them out there for the entire world to hear when they're

that bad. All right, now, that's out of the way. As always, if you are enjoying the show,

please give us a review on iTunes. It really does help to draw on new listeners. And the more listeners we have, the better. Secondly, if you have a question or a comment, the email address is shan at the American History Podcast.com. You can also find me on Twitter and Facebook. My Twitter handle is at American Hiscast.

1983, the year the world almost ended. And with that, it's time for the song of the week.

This week, the song of the week is When You're Far Away. This song was recorded in 1926,

and is courtesy of the Internet Archive. We'll see you on the other side.

I could not believe I would ever grieve till you went away dear all my happiness turned to
