History Hack: US Civil War Veterans and Opiate Addiction

We don't always have an hour or so to spare. In this new, short-form podcast, Alex and Matt interview an author, gameshow style, and they have fifteen minutes on the clock to convince you to buy their new book. With a minute to go, the alarm sounds and your hosts will throw out the meanest, saddest comment they think the internet will come up with about the book and the author gets a chance to respond.Patreon members get extra time: 15 more minutes in which you get to see behind the scenes and find out how the book was written.
