@trufelman.bsky.social
's Articles of Interest: Gear, on the origins of American outdoor wear and its relationship with the military. Teddy Roosevelt's machismo and the Spanish-American War hits like a gut punch today...

This is genuinely the best podcast I’ve listened to this year!
@trufelman.bsky.social
has done such a fascinating, immaculately researched deep dive - it is absolutely worth the listen. Every single episode had a reveal moment that made me gasp, laugh or immediately text my friends in recognition. 💕
