These are the interviews I have conducted on the various blogs and radio shows I have been involved with over the past few years. For those conducted on this site, please click the link and you will be re-directed to them. I hope you will enjoy these, because a lot of effort goes into getting one. Many do not realize how much time it takes, not only in contacting the person and actually talking to them, but transcribing what they say over the phone as well. Those marked with a * indicate personnel interviewed on a past radio show or blog where no link exists for it.
Please note: the majority of actors and historians I have interviewed are apart of my blog’s exclusive coverage of the release/premiere of the Gods and Generals Extended Director’s Cut, which is a part of the commemoration of the Civil War’s 150th Anniversary. For the complete archive, click here.
