Geography was never my strongest subject, so I had to guess at where Delaware was when I started discussing it with my expert today. And it turns out the term "Boswash Megalopolis" did not give me as many clues as I was hoping.
My guest today is Dave Tabler. Dave is a historian with all kinds of interesting knowledge about the second smallest state. It sits in the aforementioned Boswash area, which is the space between Boston and Washington D.C. Specifically it's just east of D.C. and South of Philadelphia. And boy do they have some weird history since they are old enough to be part of the thirteen colonies, but isolated enough to not really be that involved. They end up with all kind of odds and ends from German food to Elizabethan English clothes and accents. This is very much a history and tourism kind of episode, which I know isn't everyone's thing, but it's a nice way to shake it up every now and then. I'd love to do more of these if there are any historians or just fans of the places they live or visit that want to educate us a little. And just before we get rolling, I've seen a lot of people picking up podcasting recently, and there's no better place to host your show than with Podbean! This show is a featured podcast over there and I've loved every moment of belonging to their service. ( Www.Podbean.Com )
( "Dave Tabler" on Www.Amazon.Com ) Let's get aware of Delaware!
So there's Delaware. Some fun, some weird, and some in between. I hope you enjoyed the history trip, but know that next week will be entirely different as always!
In other news, the March rankings are competitive for sure:
1. The United States, led by New York, California, and Florida. 2. England, dethroning our now number 3... 3. Canada, with Ontario barely leading. 4. Australia, with Queensland holding the top spot. 5. Ireland, honestly showing up with such numbers it might take top 3 before the month is done!
That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode! Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.
