Hello, you spectacular people. Welcome to History Goes Bump. I'm your host, Diane. We have an extra Tuesday

thrown into the month of March here in 2026, so I thought I would share with you a bonus episode that we

have done for our executive producers. This is the kind of content you get for supporting the show at the $2 and above level.
