    Almost Lynched: A Gandhi Story

    If you're new to the show, you'd probably like it best if you started listening to this sprawling story at episode 1.1 or 1.3 ... depending how you like consuming your stories. Whether you're new to the show or not, there is some very time-sensitive information below about my family and time-sensitive information about the show probably being off the air soon. Mahatma Gandhi is best known for his work in India. But while the Gandhi film by Richard Attenborough does focus on some of Gandhi's time in South Africa, it leaves out a remarkable incident. In this mini-episode of the Forgotten Wars Podcast....hear about this incident that occurred shortly after the Anglo-Boer War. Finally, my 2nd child is days away from being born as of this air date :) As a result, I'll need to focus more exclusively on endeavors that more certainly will earn this high school world history teacher and his growing family some money. Therefore, this will probably be the last episode of the Forgotten Wars Podcast unless some generous donors step in to at least take on the monthly fees it takes to even keep this show's sole season on the air. And it will certainly take in the tens of thousands of dollars to make it worth it for me to sink another nearly 3,000 hours into producing another season about another forgotten war. If you want to make sure to keep this show going and want your name in the credits, check out the links below. Regardless ... God bless you for reading even this far :) 1) More sources from today's episode available at https://forgottenwarspodcast.com/blog/ 2) Choose how you'd like to keep the show going at https://forgottenwarspodcast.com/donate/
