    Great story telling. But that’s all it is. Too many mistakes and inaccuracies to be historically accurate.

    But the title is “Legends” so take it for what it is, story telling.

    And fyi, the commander of the Alamo in early 1836 was James C. Neill, not McNeill. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    And the line in the sand story is just that, a story.

    But again, your podcast is about legends not historical facts.

    I get ads can be avoided by paying, and I’m accustomed to listening to ads. Listening to them is the cost of not paying. However, this podcast has so many ads it makes listening nearly impossible to follow the story. It starts with long ads, and then after under a minute of content more ads. I get ads, but don’t make it so people are so annoyed they don’t stick around at all. Podcast far more successful have half the amount of ads this one has. Unless you want to pay premium, I’d pass on this on... more
