We're at it again! We keep having so much fun with Loretta and Susan that we had to keep bringing them back for encore performances. And, this time, they are focusing on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. They are so knowledgeable about the everyday lives of people who lived through this era as well as how war could upend those lives. We know that, as always, we'll have a great conversation and learn so much about how this historic happening affected every aspect of people's lives.

You know them as the Two Nerdy History Girls - authors Loretta Chase and Susan Holloway Scott were the originators of the infamous blog. We, once again, have Loretta and Susan here to answer all of our burning questions about the 250th. How do they do their research, how much of it comes out of their visits to Colonial Williamsburg, and how do they incorporate their knowledge into their writing? We can't wait for what we know is going to be a fascinating conversation between these two friends and researchers.
