Episode 4 - Mary Ann Goodnight

The Orphan Mother of the Plains, as described by Jane Little Botkin, about Mary Ann Goodnight. Jane's book, The Breath of a Buffalo, Mary Ann Goodnight, shares Mary’s story which "has never been told, though it was she, not her famous husband, whose continuing actions preserved the Southern American Bison herd from extinction." https://janelittlebotkin.com/2024/03/i-accepted-a-challenge-researching-and-writing-mary-ann-goodnights-story/ [https://janelittlebotkin.com/2024/03/i-accepted-a-challenge-researching-and-writing-mary-ann-goodnights-story/] In this podcast, we explore the strength of a woman living in a man's world and achieving success. A woman of deep convictions and undying love for saving animals and people. Her relationships with Native Americans, including Quanah Parker, and multiple tidbits I have never heard before. Join us for this in-depth and interesting revelation about the woman behind Charles Goodnight of the Goodnight-Loving Trail legacy.

Episode 3 - Rose Gordon

Born in the Barker mining district of central Montana Territory, Rose Beatrice Gordon (1883-1968) was the daughter of an African American chef and an emancipated slave who migrated to the West in the early 1880s. As a Black woman in the West, Gordon’s life was ordinary in terms of its day-to-day struggles but extraordinary in its sum. Her story offers unique insights into the Black experience in the rural West in the first half of the 20th century. In this Women Ranchers Series podcast, I discuss Rose Gordon with the author of "A Black Woman's West: The Life of Rose B Gordon," Michael Johnson. He is Professor of American literature at the University of Maine at Farmington. His primary research areas are African American Literature and the literature and culture of the American West.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
