This is Part II of what became a two-part series on the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, with special guest host Nick Williams (@dolorousnick). It was not originally planned as such, so the break between episodes happens pretty abruptly.

**Tanner's mic quality is not great in this episode, but it has been cleaned up as much as possible**

***a portion of this month's Patreon payout goes to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) https://www.map.org.uk/ - if you have the resources we urge you to give to one of several charities who are operating in impossible circumstances in Gaza under Israel's genocidal forced removal and bombing campaign.
^an update - while donations will be important for the future, as of uploading on 10/20/23 Israel is still preventing any additional food, water, or supplies from entering the Gaza Strip; we urge listeners to continue sharing Palestinian voices and promoting liberation of Palestine in any way possible with whatever reach you may have.
