The California Frontier Podcast is back! Our first season was short — interviews with journalist and travel writer Maggie Espinosa about her pilgrimage to all 21 of the Spanish missions in California, and with Greg Bernal Smestad about his quest to preserve the Californio traditions pass on to him by his grandmother. Both were very well-received and many people have asked to hear more episodes of this podcast, and rightly so.

Season 2 of The California Frontier Podcast will be a mix of content about important topics and stories related to California’s early heritage, as well as interviews with interesting people who have something to contribute to our understanding of this rich heritage.

I’d love to get your feedback on the episodes, and your suggestions for interesting topics or people to interview. One of the reasons I started the California frontier project was because I believe that there are so many fascinating topics to delve into, and there are a whole group of interesting people with stories to share. Let us know what you think.

Stay tuned for our upcoming episodes every two weeks!
