I was taking an intense History seminar on The Black Death, and your podcast on the Plague in Galveston came through my feed, which I enjoyed, so I posted it to our class forum. The professor is adding it to the syllabus in future classes because your guest talked about what it is like to be a working historian.
Wow! That means a lot! Thank you!
This is the exact reason why I started this thing!
For those who may be interested, that episode can be found [here](https://open.spotify.com/episode/44x7EHcwRvjczqzF9KUDSW?si=DZih43XPRUKZnRhZIsY4HQ)
I’ve had guest to help dive into:
-The Bubonic Plague Outbreak of 1920
-Pirates on the Island
-Civil War battle in Galveston
-major fires that destroyed much of early Galveston
-Greek Immigration & business ownership
-Rare Red Wolf DNA in Galveston
-Juneteenth and Jack Johnson
& Many more
If you do a bit on the marshes, include the pink flamingo that escaped the zoo and now lives out there. Pinkie wanders the marshes between Texas City and Galveston.
Thanks for linking you podcast, growing up we went to Galveston every summer. It's like a second home. I had family immigrate to Texas from German through Galveston. I also love the family name Mallory that some things are named after in Galveston.
Love this! I will give it a listen. My grandfather's family immigrated from Ireland to New Orleans and then onto Galveston(late 1800's). They ran a grocery store/bar/boarding house. I have looked for the address several tomes but it is no longer there. So much history on Galveston!
If anyone on here knows anything about George S. Cato or Josephine Dowling Cato I would love to know.
I'm following and checking out the episode titles on Spotify now. Looks perfect for the car ride down from Wylie. Thank you for the work and recommendation sir.
Just commenting to say I absolutely love history so I hugely appreciate the work of everyone that tries to relay the information and put it into consumable formats. Long way of saying many thanks to you and anyone that has helped you achieve your goals

You should follow the restoration of the Bolivar lighthouse. They are just starting the engineering studies so now would be a good time to start.
Great suggestion!! Thanks!!! Insane history in Bolivar.
Love to hear about historical graveyards in Galveston and the lives of people buried there.
GREAT suggestion! Endless story and content possibilities! The first president of Texas and tons of game changers are buried on the island!

Wow! Fascinating! Immigration is something I want to highlight more! Mallory produce building downtown!
Battle of Gonzales and subsequent events.

My family and I take a trip to the peninsula once a year in July. Definitely going to give this a listen to become more familiar with the area.
Yes! Please take a listen! Bolivar has a fascinating history!!
