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. ----------------------- Now… welcome to the pilot episode of Dueling Pistols — where history draws first, and legends never die! Hosted by Brian Call, each biography rides with a single co-host from the opening line to the last page. One figure. One story. Read aloud and dissected chapter by chapter. Battles, conquests, survival, leadership—it's all here. No fluff. No filters. Just raw history told with grit, blood, and legacies that last. This is Episode 1 of the 26-part Daniel Boone series, new episodes drops every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. Grit. Blood. Legacy. Let the story begin.
