This is the history of the World Podcast

Illuminati Debrief. Used to be exclusive for Illuminati members now it's open to everybody it's the secret that everyone now has

access to all you hot worlders can listen to the debrief and the debrief essentially talks about it's sort of a

little unscripted 10-15 minuteit-chat, primarily about the episode that you just listened to.

And if you did just listen to an episode, of course, you may well have listened to the one that was just

published about the small city of Petaluma in Sonoma, in Sonoma County just north of San Francisco Bay and just west of Sacramento, that area of California. Now when I offer gifts and rewards to history of the World Podcast Illuminati members.

I never really know what I'm going to be asked for when they qualify for the

special episode privilege.

Now Mandy Kirk earned the privilege of commissioning her own special episode and she said to me she said

would you consider writing an episode about Southern Sonoma County, where I come from and more specifically the town of Petaluma.

And when I received this email I thought, I thought, this is going to be tough because it's very, very specific.

I wanted to have a look and think, well, what can I do? What really can I produce? Can I

create an episode that people would like to listen to? So I started studying and it was difficult for me to find materials.

What I normally do is for the special episodes, I normally look to see if there's a book or two that I can

purchase that will help me in the production of the episode and so for the last

two the ones I did was the ninth Spanish of the Roman Greece and I was able to pick up a couple of books that aided me in targeting those

periods of history. But for Petaluma in Southern Sonoma County, it wasn't so easy.

There were a couple of books that were published many, many years ago and they're really not very conducive to picking up a feeling for the for the

subject matter quickly and then regurgitate it into a 30 minute episode.
