Season one of the callinghistory podcast has ended.
And we want to thank you forjoining us to explore history
in this totally different way.
We'll be taking the holidays off andthe next podcast will be January 6th.
When we were first putting thisproject together, I didn't know
what it was going to look like.
In fact, I was struggling to comeup with a name that made sense.

Fortunately, we didn't settlethere because that made people
think that this was about ghosts,which it is certainly not.

the end when he threatened my life.

As this year ends, I want to thankall my guests for their generosity,
their expertise and their time.
Next year, we'll be goingfurther and exploring more.
And I'm glad that you'll be joining me.
If you haven't listened toall the episodes, this is your

(02:16):
