Katherine is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable yet very modern historian. Many history podcasts discussing colonial USA adhere to tradition and do not necessarily question patriarchical structure/relationships, nor consider thoughtfully the full lives and experiences of enslaved people. This podcast gently and professionally pushes back against both using studiously direct sources and extrapolations, but with a modern, well humored, and thoughtful tone. Can't wait to listen to more! One day the book derived from this podcast will be a cornerstone example to students of how to approach original letters from this time period with a modern eye.
