Thank you so much for this episode; it was excellent! I had never heard of the Rosewood Massacre before, and you delivered a gripping account of one of the more shameful events in American history. Thank you for being brave enough to delve into what was the true dark side of the 1920s.
I also enjoyed the reading of "The Yellow Sign." I wasn't sure I liked the reader's vocal style at first, but I stuck with it and I am very glad I did! I hadn't read this story before, either, so it was a real treat.
I haven't forgotten about going through my New Yorker archive for material that might be useful. As soon as I can get a little break from the day job, I'll see what I can turn up!
very best wishes and please keep up the good work!
Thanks for this one I have always wanted to read this one and have never got to! So thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed the show and thanks for stopping by to say so!
