In the Season 7 premiere of "Outlander," Claire Fraser finds herself in the crosshairs of Royal Governor Josiah Martin, who is battling for control of Fort Johnston on the Cape Fear River in the opening months of the American Revolution.

Joining this week's podcast is local historian and author Chris E. Fonvielle Jr., who guides us through the intertwined history of Martin, the final royal-appointed governor of North Carolina, and Fort Johnston, the fiery fate of which will mark the beginning of the end of British control in the colony.

"Outlander in the Cape Fear" will air new episodes every two weeks this summer!
