Hello and welcome to episode 71 of History on Fire.

This is a real release or rather it's the first time that this is released outside of paywalls,

so for most of you this is brand new.

But let me get a couple of things out before we start this episode

if you enjoy history on fire the best way to make sure it remains viable is to support it either on Patreon or substock.

All it takes is 2% of listeners donating $5 per month

and I get to keep making podcast.

As a thank you to the sweet folks who decide to take one for the team, you get bonus

episodes and I'm also gonna start doing more things like we just recently at the

first Zoom meetings with a bunch of supporters and that was a lot of fun

we just did a Q&A for two hours I had a blast I hope everybody else did too so that's something else that if you decide to

support the show every now and then I'm gonna make sure to have some live

Zoom meetings that could be fun. There are a few folks who support at way

higher level than the minimum and I want to give them a special shout out.

Mark Chang, the Chimim-Moxam,, Justin Born, Julian Bailey, Ljubov-Zareva, Amita Echechel, Raffaldini Vineyards, and Francis Lund, who hosts the Game Change in History Podcast, which is just awesome.

I suggest you check it out.

So if you want to join this Brave Band of Heroes, you can head to patron or substock and and just start supporting which

would be deeply appreciated. A couple of last quick shout-outs before I get

things going one that I've never done before I want to give a shout-outs before I get things going, one that I've never done before. I want to give a

shout out to my friend Sarah Frazetta. She's the granddaughter of one of my favorite painters that would be Frank Frazetta. Frank Frazetta is the godfather of heroic

fantasy art. You have, even if you maybe don't know the name, you have probably seen his art.

All the classic Conan the Barbarian type of illustration, his sub-work was featured in a bunch of rock and roll cover albums, he was, is an incredible.
