Our History Project - Our History

We have been moving fast and preparing for the release of next weeks show. Cassie and I are excited to have it finally under way. In this micro-wave world of I want it now it is hard to realize how far we really have come in such a very short time.

Have you ever had an idea that literally shook you to the core? I have and let me tell you it is a life altering change that not only rocked my world but a lot of folks went with me for this ride.

Almost seven weeks ago this project was an idea. Through dedication and very hard work form a lot of people we have pulled tighter a project that launched itself into the stratosphere.

In the first five weeks we created the project, Gave it a name, Designed the Logo, letterhead and such. Became a Nonprofit Corporation was cleared by the state of GA Charities Division, put together the web-site, blogs, forums, promotional literature, interviewed and have cut three shows, developed a donation guide and came up with some very cleaver ways to support individuals, groups and businesses who support us, our mission and our vision.

We have gone from no web presence at all to being found everywhere. Every search engine has picked us up and we are right there in the top. Thanks to the top team in the business we are listed on several podcast directories including i-tunes, podcast alley, podbean and podcast pickle.

We have aired two promo pieces, cut three shows and have several more topics lined up and waiting in the wings, including something special for the 75th anniversary of "Gone With The Wind" in April.

Show ideas are coming in from all over and we want you to send us yours to. We are crossing the country to find these stories about all aspects of American History. What do you want to hear more about? We are rolling strong folks and we want you with us. Contact us or visit our website to find out how you can make a difference. Don't worry, not all of it involves money. There are things you can do in your neighborhood or at home that involves no money from you or asking anyone else. Don't get me wrong we are a 100% Nonprofit business and we will need donations, memberships, supporters and sponsors to stay alive in the long run and we will be grateful for anything you can do. However the main goal that we are striving for is "Preservation."

Where can you find us on the Web? Or, at least what I have found so far:

So, you can see we have gotten around a little. But it does not need to stop there. Help us in sharing the memories of the past. Get involved and help us preserve our shared memories and times. We are going to cross every boundary - ethnic, racial, generational, economic and geographic.

Come be a part of it.

About Us

Our History Project, Inc. is a National Non-Profit Organization based in McDonough, GA. Our Mission and Vision is the Preservation and Education of Our United States History.

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. Please bear with us as we make this transition. If there is a show you are looking for and do not see here as of yet, feel free to contact us and we can get you a direct download link.
