History Made Entertaining!

Ok, I’ll admit it – history was never my favorite subject. Since I moved to, and fell in love with, Washington State I found myself curious about all the little towns and ghost towns, and the explorers and settlers that trekked all the way to the farthest northwest corner of this beautiful country. The history I read in books was too much like the standard dry history from my school days, until….”Washington Our Home“! My “Fearless Field Guide”, Erich, is funny, entertaining, and knows his Washington State History. You can tell that he loves this state, and shares his interest with anyone who will listen. And listen you should. You won’t be disappointed, and you may just learn something new without going back to school!

I love your podcast!

I just discovered your podcast the other day and I love it! Listened to them all while working in my shop and I plan to go back to catch some of the details I may have missed while the grinders and saws were running. Please keep the content coming! I moved to WA about four years ago and love learning about this great state. I live in South Kitsap county and would love to hear some history and stories of things in this area. Thanks for doing what you are doing!
