Summary
For longtime GRITTY listeners: this isn't our usual episode. For the next several weeks, we're running a special 26-part series on the life of Daniel Boone — and we're releasing each episode simultaneously on both the GRITTY Podcast Youtube channel and the already-launched Dueling Pistols YouTube channel and both on their own respective podcast feeds. Once the Boone series wraps, GRITTY will go back to its regular content. But all future Dueling Pistols content will move exclusively to the Dueling Pistols channel, so if you want the full Boone journey — and every legend after — head over and subscribe so you don't miss it. New episodes drop every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. Here is the link to the Dueling Pistols Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@DuelingPistols?si=w5hmrPKivOp5s9fC
