The American History Podcast, Season 4, Episode 21, Spring, 1942.

This is Tokyo Road. Are you listening? All you find boys in your comfortable foxhole? Listen to me. I'm happy to have you back for another episode of World War II in the Pacific. I know it's been a while,

but we are back to the main narrative. And just a bit of housekeeping before we get into this story.

I'm back to teaching AP and dual credit U.S. history, so the release schedule for the next few months

might be a tad sporadic. While I do have an MA and all of the course work for the PhD specializing

in U.S. history, the reality is I've not taught this course in about six years or so, and thus

I might have some months where I only release one episode during that time. Now, hopefully it

won't happen, but I thought I'd give you a heads up just in case it does.

Now, if you're enjoying the show, check out the website at www.theamerican history podcast.com.

You can see all sorts of stuff there, including a link to sign up for the Patreon.

There's a ton of extra stuff on Patreon that's only available on Patreon, including two different bonus series.
