A Dead Cade of History Goes Bump
Welcome to our 10th anniversary! On October 1, 2014, the first episode of History Goes Bump dropped. I never imagined that this little hobby I had started up would get to over 8 million downloads, be nominated for awards, get covered in magazines and become another form of income for me. I just hoped my family and friends would listen and enjoy what they heard. But I also hoped that it would become more and get people excited about history and introduce people to some great historical locations. I hope in some small way that I've helped to develop your appreciation for historic architecture and inspired you to support the preservation of old buildings. And obviously, I hope that I've given you a welcome space for sharing your unexplained experiences and a community to care about you and what happens to your spirit, both here and in the afterlife. That is the greatest reward of all.
We share about some of our favorite episodes, Diane's dad joins us to share a bit of family lore, we announce some new content coming your way and we share some of our favorite bloopers!
