Great John Wayne Story

Very interesting podcast about John Wayne’s life. Especially liked how you showed him to be a real person and not just a movie icon. To add to your story, I wanted to tell you about a friend of mine who was an extra in the movie The Horse Soldiers. He was one of the boys from the Virginia Military Academy. My friend told me that every day at lunch time that John Wayne would sit down on the ground with the boys and tell them stories. This was a very special memory for him.

Wish John Wayne was here today.

Great story about “The Duke”. John Wayne was a real guy, warts and all, but he was a Man and a good one at that. He influenced a generation of good men. However the pendulum has swung the other way, and now Wayne and his ilk bring out the shrill cries from todays “social warriors”. He epitomized the ideals of a society, though that society has passed, there are still lessons to be learned from a study his life and work. Keep up the good work Jon!

Tornado

Thank you for sharing the information on Tornadoes! I live in South Central Ky! I have seen the destruction an F3 can do and I am a bit more prepared to survive after hearing what an F5 can do! Ultimately I am in Gods hand!

Pure gold (just like that train)

One of the best podcasts ever. I love the diversity of this show. One question why did you change the cover thing? I like the old one more, but that doesn’t change the quality of the show!!! Absolute perfection!! Thank you!!

Top Notch!

The topics are well researched and delivered in such a thought provoking manner, it’s easy to listen and stay mentally engaged with. Jon is a great interviewer who asks good questions as if he too is intrigued with every interviewee and the topic discussed.

A great way to spend your time!

As a college student and full-time employee, I rarely get a chance to sit down and physically watch something. 1001 give me the ability to be physically active at work and still freshen up on my history knowledge. Thank you Jon for being an incredible host!!!

Truth & Sanity

Sticks to historical fact. I listen to many historical podcast on the same subjects John covers. John by far goes into more depth. John truly is an American hero. Political correctness is for those that want to white wash history. This incentivizes the ‘learned’ a context to change history. Every historical figure you can make a villain or a hero. Christopher Columbus is a perfect example. He has extensive journals he kept and if you want the true story read hid journals. Not from someone that wants to change “Columbus Day” to “Indigenous Day” because he’s a mass murder. This is a perfect example where John would cover the highs and lows of Columbus, not a historian that has skewed privilege view where they drink their $12 Starbucks pick-me up and watch nonsensical IQ reducing tik-toks point of view. Keep packing the TRUTH JOHN!!!!!!!!!

Still a fan

As always, love these shows, Jon. Your 1001 podcasts are a family favorite. My two sons (ages 13 and 11) especially enjoy the history they learn. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Excellent stories and very entertaining. Once you get started you will find it hard to pause it when needed. Johns presentation and attention to the details when telling the stores makes the stories come to life. Ive shared this podcast with several friends and each time they thanked me for the suggestion saying they have gotten hooked too. Great job John.

Jon Hagadorns material never fails to please! This podcast as well as his many other shows has given me many hours of entertainment. Jon’s voice is perfect, it’s like he’s sitting at my kitchen table, very engaging!

Outstanding

John Been listening for a while now to 1001 heroes. Thought you did an outstanding job on the July 13 episode with Sam Mitchum. As a older listener whose great-great grandfather was a poor Mississippian who fought & was wounded in the Civil War, this episode was of particular interest to me. Kudos to you for bringing these historical backstories to life in such a interesting way. Not bad for a damnyankee 😉😉 Also enjoyed the latest “lost mines” episodes. Keep up the good work. LaBlue

1001 Heroes Series

Both my wife and I really love these podcasts. We often listen to them while on car trips together. We especially like your straightforward tone and non-revisionist style. History is what it is, not what we think it should have been through our current lens, as that lens will constantly change.

Lusitania

I’ve been enjoying the podcast about the Lusitania. Never heard much about this ship. John makes history fun to listen to and learn from. I especially enjoy anything world war 2. Keep up the great work John
