Today we have Dr. Richard J. Goodrich on the show. Dr. Goodrich is an author and historian.
After 20 years as a history professor, Dr. Goodrich decided to move full time into writing. His interests range from ancient history, the Roman Empire, and early church history to the modern age. His latest book is L.A. Birdmen, A Gripping History of Early Aviation on America's West Coast.
This joins his previous publication, Comet Madness, How the 1910 Visit of Halley's Comet Almost Destroyed Civilization, which was published in February 2023. Dr. Goodrich and I discussed a wide range of topics, which tend to be my favorite types of conversations. I hope you enjoy it as well.

In the episode, we sketch a brief bio of the poet and writer Joaquin Miller and read some of his more famous poems.
In this episode, we wrap the section on the Democratic Party in California in the 1850's.
