Hey everyone, I wanted to post my podcast about the Battle of Athens (1946), when Tennessee veterans overthrew their local government. It's called COUNTED AS CAST and it's on
itunes and
soundcloud .
It's a deep dive. I focus on two main characters, each from an opposing side in the conflict. One was a GI who fought in the Pacific in WW2 by the name of Bill White. The other was a corrupt Democrat politician named Paul Cantrell.
It was immensely fun to do this podcast and I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know if you have any comments, critiques, or additions you'd like me to make. I'm always interested in learning more.
The Tinderbox podcast is the wider project, intended to investigate civic conflicts like the Battle of Athens. My next subject is likely the LA Riots.
Thanks for listening!
