You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Hello, this is Matt and McKinley from History Dispatches.

We are the father-son duo bringing you the weird, the wild, the wacky, and the craziest tales from across time.

From the Ice Bowl to the Great Heathen Army.

And the head of Oliver Cromwell, the same head

they kept on a pike for three years?

Yep, all here on History Dispatches.

New episodes every weekday.

Redacted History family, listeners, supporters, we won our first award. The Redacted

History podcast just won silver at the 2024 Signal Awards, which is a national podcast award.

Hundreds and hundreds of podcasts submit their names and their shows to be potentially recognized for this award.

And we won silver in our category, which was Best Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Podcasts.

And I just wanted to make this really, really quick snippet to say thank you thank you thank you to

every single person that has ever listened to this show I can't express how amazed I

am at what we've managed to do in a very very short three years we're coming up on four

years of the show's existence in March of 2026 and you know we've just won our

first national award we've gotten over 1.4 million streams and we haven't even

technically hit our hundredth episode yet.

And I really just want to say thank you.

That's literally all I want to do here is thank you, thank you, thank you.

I almost did not start this show.
