Can you recommend a good history of the war that goes into the southern political/social structure?
Mary Boykin Chestnut's diary gives a good contemporary account of the social and political context: <a href="https://archive.org/details/diaryfromdixie00chesrich" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/diaryfromdixie00chesrich</a>
Also, not sure how else to get in touch with John or Mark, but I have been a $5 subscriber for about a month now but I have not gotten the newsletter. Realized I was missing out when I the nuclear winter piece was alluded to during the Nukes episode. Not sure if I am missing something. My email: andrew.a.bossie@gmail.com
Sorry about that Andrew. We'll find out what happened and fix it.
This is an old/unoffical RSS feed for the WN that has the early episodes: <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gskoljarev/rwnfg/master/rwn.xml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gskoljarev/rwnfg/master/rwn.xml</a>
To listen offline I found it easiest to download the patreon app and listen to war nerd through that.
There doesn't seem to be an mp3 for episodes 2-7. Could you put those up? Running those episodes off my 4G is going to kill my data plan.
Hi Tupac, Thanks for letting us know. We'll fix this asap.
What sort of pledge rates the RSS feed link? I'm pledging a mere $2 an episode right now and have to download the show the hard way. May I be so bold as to suggest that since you guys made your nut for monthly pledges, you give the feed link to every subscriber?
Hi Zanzibar, Not sure if this will help, but the title for RSS/iTunes is War Nerd Radio (instead of Radio War Nerd).
