Every Friday, Kirby teaches at a home school co-op for 8th to 12th graders, and this year he's teaching a class on the Civil War. This podcast includes an excerpt from Friday's lecture at Crossroads Bible Church - recorded in the KVI studio.

If you'd like to follow along with Kirby's lessons - the text book for this class is "This Great Struggle: America's Civil War by Steven E. Woodworth"

This week's lesson includes chapter 10 and Grant's Overland Campaign

KVI's morning host (John Carlson) and afternoon drive host (Kirby Wilbur) rejoin forces to talk about the most pressing issues in the news: why its time to re-open parts of the local/national economy, secondary effects of the economic paralysis, balancing public health with the economy, narrow perspective of public health officials, how the news media distorts public perception of the public health and economy duality, three suggestions on re-opening parts of the economy staring this coming Monday, how COVID-19 will solely define the presidential and WA gubernatorial election campaigns all through November.
