- Yellow Jack - COVID has Nothing on This
We love hearing from our fans!
An episode that will make you feel much better about COVID. Yellow Jack or Yellow Fever reaped havoc on Texas for decades...and decades. Black vomit, followed by almost immediate death and no idea how to prevent it. This is what our Texas ancestors dealt with. Come hear the stories about this deadly virus, what came of those that lived through it and how we ultimately overcame it. It does not sound like an uplifting episode, but we do our best to make it entertaining.

18 min - Never Stood a Chance - Indianola
We love hearing from our fans!
The town that saw so much heartbreak . It had so much potential. It was the port of entry for many of the Germans that made Texas home. Without it, we might not have kolaches, brats or all those German towns throughout the state. Celebrate the legacy of Indianola with us and let us never forget.
