I'm your host Heather Tesco, and I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and being more deeply in touch with our own humanity.

This is episode 100.

Woohoo!

And I want to do something fun for this big milestone.

Seriously, 100 episodes.

Thank you so much to all of you who've been with me from the beginning and a big warm welcome to those of you who are newer to the

show. I can't wait to see where the next hundred episodes takes us. I've got a list of about

50 shows already, and it seems like every week I add more to that, so this is exciting. Anyway, for
