Hello, and welcome back.

This week we begin our look at Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the new world (see our episode on St. Augustine if you'd like to know why specifying English is so important here), the struggles they faced with leadership, food, and the indiginous population, and how they managed to succeed where other English colonies had failed.

You may have heard that Jamestown is the oldest surviving colony in the continental United States - if so, you've been lied to. Join us as we discuss Saint Augustine, the oldest surviving settlement that the English wouldn't want you to know about, and it's rocky start.

Hello, and sorry we're late. This time around we have a new narrator (temporarily, don't worry!) and new adventures as we follow the voyages of John Cabot and the lies of Amerigo Vespucci. We're getting closer to Jamestown, so buckle in and enjoy the ride!

In this episode we discuss Columbus' first visit to the Americas, his subsequent return to spain, his next two trips back to the Americas, his doomed time as governor, his imprisonment under the Spainish crown, and finally his last, failed trip where he tried to circumnavigate the globe. Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode, we continue our Journey with Columbus as he sets out on his recently approved journey West. We will examine the course he took, mistakes that were made, his crew's conditions, and the other men who made the journey possible.

In this first episode of A.A.H.P. we take a closer look at Columbus, where he came from, what his obsession was, his family dynamics, and who made the trip to the America's before him.
