Episode description

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 105. This time we examine the year 1868 as the first united states parade to have floats is held during mardi gras in Mobile, Alabama. Apologies on the sound issues, we are working to get them figured out.

Theme music by The Tim Kreitz Band
