The American History Podcast, Season 2, Episode 25, The Battle of Monterey.

Welcome to the American History podcast.

Hosted by Sean Worswick. All right, so welcome back to the show.

I'm glad you could join in on the fun today.

Before we get started, let me just remind you to head over to our website and join the email list.

I try not to bombard you with a ton of email, but about once a week or so, maybe twice a week.

I do try to send out an email, which I think you'll find interesting.

If you were enjoying the show, then you can or you should join that email list.

Also, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me.

My handle is at American Hiscast.

So before we start off the show today, I just want to do a mini update.

I've thought about the idea of starting a Patreon.

Now, if you don't know what Patreon is, it's a platform for content creators,

and this would allow me to create content for a subscription fee. The way it will work is that for

$3 a month, you will be given access to a bonus series. It's guaranteed one episode per month

in that series. The main show itself will continue to remain free and would

continue to produce at least two episodes a month. Although, as you've probably noticed lately,

I'm giving you far more than just two per month. If there are enough subscribers, I would love to

dedicate more time and give you all two bonus episodes per month, but we'll have to see how many subscribers we get.

And once the series ends, then a new bonus series will begin.

So the first bonus series for our Patreon's will be the Cold War, 1983.

I think it's something you're going to find fascinating and will truly enjoy. So head over to Patreon and sign up.
