The Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence
First Aired: 07/04/2009
Today we look at the document that started it all - “The Declaration of Independence”. This may not be an exciting show folks but it is one that will spell out the reasons why or founding fathers wrote it and what impact it made, not only for us a new independent country but for the rest of the world as well.
In today’s society where we have people who do not know their Vice President, Secretary of State, their representatives in Washington or even their own local officials, and really there are a lot of these folks out there. When if ever have you read, looked at or listened to this historical document? Listen today and you will. As I said this is not the most upbeat show we have had but I think it is important to hear. I left the show tunes background on for the entire show and do not know if it helps or is a distraction. Let me know and I can change it (Yes, I’m asking for an opinion, I can redo it.)
The show is only 18 minutes this week so give it a listen and think about those Founding Fathers who put their life on the line to sign it.
Next week Cassie talks to one of Georgia’s First Ladies Betty Vandiver who was the wife of Ernest Vandiver from 1959-1963 at a time when Civil Rights was an explosive issue for our Country and the South.

A Life of Service with Helen Denton
First Aired 06/27/2009
I had the honor of interviewing Mrs. Helen Denton this week. Folks, this is truly a remarkable woman and you will undoubtedly find her life as interesting as I did. Just some highlights: She typed the D-day Order’s for June 6th, 1944 - She cut a rug with Lawrence Welk - She stopped a moving train -She meet the Queen and much, much more. In fact there is way too much to even to begin to list.

She is one of Georgia’s most interviewed people, but I think we got a story that was different and inspiring. I have included the excellent “GA PBS TV” interview that you can watch as well. I suggest that you take our interview with you on the road and watch the video at home. Both interviews will give you the complete picture of this legend of service. This is great story of service, community, sadness, hope and sharing.

Beginner's Guide to Detecting
Beginner's Guide to Metal Detecting with American Digger Magazine
First Aired: 06/17/2009
This week we on Our History Project’s “In the Dirt with American Digger” segment we host what you would call the Beginners Guide to the Hobby of Metal Detecting. From the stores, to the machines, to the places to hunt. The contacts, groups, strategies and more, it’s all here.
So if you have ever had the question asked of you your asked just to yourself - “What do you find with that thing?” Or better yet -“How do I get me one?” Then this show is for them - or you.
Our History Project is Nonprofit and open sourced, we promote Preservation and Education of our history, and as I have always said - “That starts with you!” - and in this show we will tell you how.
If you would like this show hosted by a player on your site or your business site send me an email and I will supply the code, it’s free. It will put a player on your page just like we have on ours (nothing to install and nothing goes on your server). If you would like I can even take off the opening comments (just let me know). The main goal of this episode is to promote our hobby in a positive light and give a basic foundation on which to grow. Bringing new blood into our world of research, history and preserving artifacts can only increase our understanding of the past.

We are updating
In March of this year we have moved servers and are in the process of moving all of our audio over to our own. It was due to excessive rising cost and the lowering of service that prompted this move.
