    FANTASTIC first episode! Well done!

    I’m a writer, too, Paul — I am currently wrapping up research and beginning work on a novel about Pocahontas, Opechancanough, and John Smith. It’s wonderful and refreshing to find another person who’s taken the true history seriously and done his best to give an accurate representation of the story (as much as can be known.)

    I saw that Helen C. Rountree’s books are missing from your links to suggested reading. Her books are truly wonderful and well worth reading for anybody who’s interested in this history in particular or in Powhatan culture in general.

    I’m going to shoot you a message on Facebook as well…can’t find another way to get hold of you!

      Thank you, Libbie!

      Actually, “Pocahontas, Powhatan, Opechancanough: Three Indian Lives Changed by Jamestown” by Helen Roundtree was one of my main sources for this episode. It’s in my bibliography too. You must have missed it. 😉

      Good luck with your novel!

    The most amazing podcast!!! It’s fascinating as living in England, we are not taught her real story in History lessons. Ironically either though she lived and was buried in England, very few people I asked knew she was a real person which is really bizarre.

    I really wish I could donate by money isn’t good at the moment so I am so sorry, I’m trying to get as many friends to listen as possible!!! 🙂

    Thanks, Highlight of the month
