Welcome to the American History podcast.

Hosted by Sean Worswick.

Thank you. Hosted by Sean Worswick. Okay, welcome back. Before we get started, as always, thank you for listening.

Please visit the website, www. www.com.

While there, you can sign up for the email list,

check out some of the sources used to create the various seasons, and you can sign up for our

Patreon page. Speaking of Patreon, if you'd like to help out the show and get access to the bonus

series 1983, the year the world almost ended, head over to the website. Click on the Patreon button down near the bottom and for as little as $5 a month, you'll have access to that Patreon-only series, transcripts of the shows.

You get access to the shows a week before they are released publicly.

You'll also get access to a show that I'll do at least once a year, perhaps more.

Enough people are signed up at that level on a controversial topic.

The first of those is already written and recorded and has been released.

So if that sounds like something you'd enjoy, head over there and sign up.

Finally, if you're into the social media thing, you can follow me on Twitter

at AmericanHISCast. I've also finally broken down and created a Facebook group for the show,

so go over to Facebook and like the page and we can interact. It's a great place to ask questions

or comment on the show or whatnot. You can also email me directly. The email is shone at the American History Podcast.com.

And yes, I do answer all emails.

All right.

So now that we've gotten all that out of the way, let's get started.

This week, the song of the week is by Ada Jones and Billy Murray.
