We Still Need Voice Over Volunteers!
If you are interested in being a part of the first Podcast dedicated to telling the stories of Gettsyburg, then please sign up here.  You don't have to be a professional, just have a great voice and a passion for story telling!

December 24 UPDATE: 

• ​First we'd like to extend a Merry Christmas to you all on this Christmas Eve and a Happy whatever-your-other-than-Christmas-holiday-is Holidays. Things are coming along with the production of season 1, however, we met with some delays due to issues in Matt's life that required his immediate attention. Those things are leveling out now and we will get back to production after January 1. Instead of releasing a whole season, we will release a half-season first, which is about all that we have in the can now. Otherwise, it will be 2025 if we wait for a whole season to be recorded. Plus, we're getting lots of messages impatiently asking when the podcast is coming out, which is good, and, given the lievel of interest, we don't want to keep everyone waiting too long, lest they lose interest. Not to mention that our sponsors rely on this podcast coming out with enough time for people to plan their 2019 vacations to The 'Burg. So, sit tight, join our mailing list, volunteer to help us take care of our Adopt A Position positions and follow us on Facebook and Instagram (Instagram is better). Merry Christmad and Happy New Year to all y'alls.

November 10 UPDATE:

• We're in the process of wrapping up production of the first season of Addressing Gettysburg. We are also in the process of adopting a position on the battlefield. Gettysburg National Military Park has a great program called "Adopt A Position" that allows people who love the battlefield to adopt a monument's area and, twice a year, come to clear it of weeds, leaves and litter. So, we are adopting two positions right next to each other on behalf of Addressing Gettysburg and our social media followers and future podcast listeners. Once in the Spring, once in the Fall, we will pick a Saturday and let our volunteers know well in advance which Saturday we've chosen. We will try to come up with a cool activity to do together aside from clearing and cleaning the position. Say, perhaps, walking Pickett's Charge along what was roughly the path of Garnett's Brigade. Then we'll wind the day up with libations at a local watering hole. This is volunteer so, everything is on your own dime...unless we pick up sponsors along the way. 

September 24 UPDATE:  

• Production of the podcast has been put on pause while Matt studies for an exam. It will resume in early October as we interview actor Patrick Gorman (General Hood) from the movie Gettysburg  attend a screening with the cast for the 25th Anniversary of the film. Patrick's interview will be available in the bonus episodes. 

August 23 UPDATE:

•  The episode for July 2 &3, 1863- Culp's Hill- is edited. Now all we need is July 2- The Southern Part of the Field- and July 3- Pickett's Charge and The Cavalry Actions; The Retreat and the battles along the way and an episode about what the armies did back in Virginia for the remainder of 1863.

July 19 UPDATE: 

• Bonus episodes accumulating. We will launch a Patreon page with the real history nerds in mind. Patrons will receive access to bonus content which focuses more on specifics. Think of the free episodes of the podcast as whistler whetters for the masses; a bird's-eye view of the battle, if you will. On the other hand, subscribers to our Patreon page will get to swoop down for a deep dive into specific actions of the battle like The Wheatfield, for instance, as well as interviews with authors, actors and other people of note surrounding the battle of Gettysburg. So far we have author Christopher Loperfido's interview about his book "Death, Disease and Life at War" recorded on the battlefield behind the monument to the 111th NY. Tonight we are excited to record an interview with D Scott Hartwig about his book "A Killer Angels Companion" and how the novel and, by extension, the movie Gettysburg stray from reality. We are super excited to meet Scott and talk with such a knowledgeable and accomplished person. Special thanks to Barb Sanders for putting us in touch with Scott. 

June 16 UPDATE: 

• Five episodes are in the can featuring Licensed Battlefield Guides (LBG) Jim Pangburn and Bob Steenstra. More are slated to record future episodes but we will always need more guides and park rangers. So if you are or know one and would like to help us sell Gettysburg to the public around the world, please contact us at matt@addressinggettysburg.com

June 14 UPDATE: 

• Several Licensed Battlefield Guides have committed to coming on some episodes of the show and many more have expressed interest. The first recording session is tonight and the second is tomorrow, June 15, at the GettysBike tours headquarters. 

May 31 UPDATE: Report from the front-
