The American History Podcast, season three, episode 19, The Imperial Moment, part four.

Welcome to the American History podcast.

Hosted by Sean Worswick.

Hello and welcome back. Before we get started, let me just invite you all to check us out on social media.

As you probably know by now, I finally broke down and not only do we have a Facebook page, but we have an Instagram account.

Now, as of this recording, I was planning a trip to Trinity site, the location of the first atomic bomb being exploded in the desert, New Mexico.

And actually, I did go, but sadly it was closed due to COVID-19.

But I did get a photo or two, and those are on the Instagram account, so check it out.

We're also on Twitter at American Hiscast and the aforementioned Facebook.

So there's a ton of ways for you to interact with me if you are so inclined to do so.

Now, if you want to just send me some hate mail, the email is shan at the American History Podcast.com, and make sure you spell Sean, S-H-A-W-N.

And we have some new Patreon members. I'd like to thank Keith.

I hope I'm getting this right, Kynbach, Gregory, and Joe for joining the Patreon.

I hope you enjoy listening to the series 1983, as well as getting the episodes early and commercial free. Speaking of 1983, I'm working on the next episode, so hopefully by the

time you're listening to this, it will be out as well. Now, if you all would like to support the show

and help to keep history alive, so to speak, head on over to the website. You can click on the

Patreon link on the right side of the page and boom, you're ready to sign up. Simple. Another way is to

go to the website and click on one of the hyperlinked sources. That will take you to Amazon. And if you

don't purchase the actual book that I linked, we still get a few pennies from them and you

get your product. So that way of support costs you absolutely nothing. All right. So this week,

the song in the week is School Days when we were a couple of kids performed by Byron G. Harlan.

Now, believe it or not, I distinctly remember singing this song in elementary school when we had our music class.
