Hello, and welcome to this special little teaser announcement I'm dropping in your laps. I have not returned from my two-year-long absence from podcasting simply to do the Martian Revolution. Oh no. The long-awaited and long-professized Duncan & Coe History Show is finally here. So please enjoy this teaser, my friend and colleague Alexis Cohen and I have recorded for our new show that is now available wherever Fine Podcasts can be found. Just search for the Duncan & Coe History Show.
The feed is up, you can subscribe, and episodes will start dropping next week. So from here on out you will be able to find me in two pod places at once. Scripted work here at Revolutions and unscripted work at the Duncan & Coe History Show. We are not just back. We are so back. So please enjoy the following announcement. Hello, and welcome to the Duncan & Coe History Show. I'm Mike Duncan.
I'm Alexis Poe and this is our show finally. Finally. It's been two eventful years since we announced the show. I announced that we were doing this at the end of Revolutions, which was in December of 2022. An announcement that I made very confidently because we had been talking about this constantly. We never stopped talking about it. And that's the thing that never changed. We've always loved talking about history together, far beyond just history books.
The original conceit of the show, the whole reason we're doing this. And so we've been talking about it nonstop. But in all that time that we were talking about it. We weren't talking about the thing that was getting in the way of us actually doing it of just putting dates on the calendar and recording. Right. Because a very big thing was happening in my life. And a very big thing was happening in my life. And they were the same thing actually. On the same timeline.
Which we never discussed. We were not discussing it. We never discussed it. We didn't talk about it for, I would say, an absurd amount of time until we did. Right. And the thing was that I was getting a divorce. And the thing was I was also getting a divorce. Which was very, very difficult. I would say devastating and really time consuming. And so when we finally talked about it, we realized that it was not the right moment to do the show. And so what we do is do the show in the future.
But we would take a little break to work out some things in our lives. Right. We were going to take a little break, not a long break. But then it kind of became a long break. And it was getting too long for my tastes. I did not like it. And then one day back in the spring, I was just like, you know what? We hadn't talked about it for a little bit. I was just like, I'm just going to send her a text message and say, we should we should do this thing.
We should we should get back together and start working on the show. And at that exact same moment, I in a DC airport for whatever reason was also thinking about you. And texting you the same thing. Yeah, this is a banana story. This is true. We're not making this up. When I texted her out of the blue, it was like, it was like a bell had gone off in both of our heads simultaneously to say we need to reconnect with the other because as I was texting her, she was texting me.
Right. And I didn't even, so I just called you. And we talked about how ridiculous that was. And that it was yet another sign that we should just be doing this show. And so how could we do it in a way that made sense to us right now? And we figured that out. And I'm just going to lead by saying that it is extremely frightening to me that this is the first time I have made a podcast without a team of like Peabody winners behind me. We have no producer. We have no budget. We don't even have music.
We don't have music. Right. And I've done those things, right? Like I've never had a producer. I've never had a budget. But I've never done an unscripted show like this before. But we have been recording ever since the spring. We've been putting episodes in the can and calling it season zero of the Dunkin and Co history show. And that's the big news. It's coming out. We're releasing them on Wednesdays. Right. So we're going to start dropping episodes.
But not necessarily in the order that we recorded them. No, we've all on the way we have done what we call a formative episodes. We've been doing topics that we always knew we were going to do from the very beginning. And then we've been adding things along the way as we've been inspired. Right. And it's season zero. And so things are just going to be coming out in the feed. And some of the early stuff is just us interviewing each other about work that we've been doing.
Things that were formative in our own careers as historians and just chatting. Right. Because we were used to talking about Washington and Lafayette. But now we talk about everything to do with history. We're just like two history buddies hanging out, shooting the shit kind of all the time. And that's what this is going to be going forward. And so we're going to have that. We're going to release bonus content there, including my favorite episode. So far, which is about a black tie dinner.
We went to recently. Yes. Yes. That black tie dinner. Where if you, if you want to see a black tie dinner, and we'll be getting roasted by Alexis for some things. So beyond the Patreon, right, we also want to grow this out. And especially we hope to do live shows like joint events together. We both love being out on the road, doing speaking gigs. And we're going to do those together. And then hopefully build a little history community here between the two of us.
And between all of you, listening out there. And that starts now with season zero of the Duncan and co history show, which is available now. And you can expect new episodes every Wednesday. Yep. New episodes every Wednesday, which means next Wednesday too. So we will see you then. This was the Duncan and co history show. I'm Mike Duncan. I'm Alexis co. This was our show. I'm Alexis co. This was our show.
