The Iron Men Addendum

We’re making this interview, which previously required a Patreon subscription to be able to access, available to the general public now–no subscription required.

For Ep 7 – The Iron Men, I had the opportunity to sit down with Norman Jetmundsen—author, historian, and co-producer of Sewanee 1899: Unrivaled—whose work served as a primary narrative source for this episode on the Iron Men of Sewanee.

This conversation goes beyond the story told in the episode.

We talk about:

• how the 1899 season has been remembered over time
• what makes that team’s achievement so remarkable even today
• the research behind Unrivaled
• and the details that didn’t make it into the documentary

If you’ve listened to the episode, this adds another layer.

If you haven’t yet, this will give you a deeper sense of just how extraordinary that story really is.

There’s a difference between hearing the story… and hearing from the people who have spent years preserving it.
