Hi everybody it's Rick Brewer the host of the past cannot die podcast

we're a history variety show featuring discussions with some of the nation's top historians

and experts in the field presented in a jargon-free forum

that appeals to everyone's historical interest. You can listen to us on iTunes, Google

that's a network of really really really committed, great podcasts that are all like us hoping to make a difference in the lives of families and kids and give them some interesting stuff to learn about. We all decided that it would be great fun to create a theme and everybody create a show around that theme.

So it's like Sweeps Week if you're watching TV.
