47. How I dealt with a burglar questions

Hi Everyone! I can’t believe we are at the end of 2017. I had planned to discuss my holiday wish list and my wishes for all of you during this episode, but it ended up becoming a safety episode after my recent encounter with a burglar. I am fortunate to have survived this horrible incident, but by request was asked to share in more detail from what I explained in my BLOG. Oscar was gracious enough to conduct the interview. We will be taking a week off for the holidays and will resume on January 2 with a New Year resolution episode, so keep listening and sharing my podcast. My Christmas wish is for you to please become a true Patron of the show and support me on Patreon.

45. Andy Rowen on Christopher Columbus through the eyes of the Taíno people

When you were in school did you learn in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue? That’s what I recall from history class. Christopher Columbus has been widely celebrated and honored in the US, and even has his own holiday. However, many historical facts have emerged over the years, that have caused controversies with honoring Columbus. Today I chat with author Andy Rowen, author of the historical fiction, Encounters Unforeseen: 1492 Retold, which dramatizes the history of Columbus’s epic voyage and first encounters with Native Americans from a bicultural perspective.
