The My Grandma's Diaries podcast is a truly captivating and heartwarming show that brings the diaries of Elizabeth to life. The co-hosts, Liz and Mark, have done an exceptional job at creating a storytelling experience that keeps listeners engaged and eager for more. What sets this podcast apart is their ability to provide context and delve into the political and historical events of each year, allowing listeners to gain a deeper understanding of the time period. Additionally, Liz's personal anecdotes and passion for research add an extra layer of authenticity to the storytelling. It's evident that a lot of effort has been put into making this podcast an immersive experience, from the background music to the use of public records and listener-provided information. Overall, it's a one-of-a-kind podcast that offers both entertainment and education.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is how well Liz and Mark bring Betty and her crew to life. Their storytelling skills are exceptional, making it easy for listeners to feel connected to the characters as if they were their own family members. The details about daily life in the 1930s, small towns, genealogy, and American history are fascinating, allowing listeners to gain insights into a bygone era. Furthermore, Liz's research on politics adds another dimension to the stories, making them even more compelling. The chemistry between Liz and Mark is also worth mentioning - their banter and genuine love for each other create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps listeners coming back for more.
While there are many positive aspects of this podcast, one potential downside is that sometimes there may be deviations from the actual diaries with additional information or storytelling elements. While these additions help set the stage and provide historical context, some listeners might prefer a more straightforward reading of the diaries without these extra embellishments. However, it's important to note that these additions do contribute to creating a richer listening experience overall.
In conclusion, The My Grandma's Diaries podcast is an endearing and educational journey into the life of Elizabeth as seen through her diaries.

It's a podcast that offers a unique blend of storytelling, history, and personal anecdotes, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in daily life in the 1930s, small-town dynamics, genealogy, or American history. Whether you're driving to work or simply looking for a podcast to immerse yourself in, The My Grandma's Diaries is definitely worth a listen.

Surprise! Just when you thought we weren't making any more podcasts this season we decided to drop in with one more. I don't know if you saw it on our social media but our local TV station interviewed us not one time but two times!!. we've got a lot of new followers and a lot of people excited to follow the life of Elisabeth. So, we thought if you've never listened to the earlier episodes this would be a great way for you to catch up. (we really would prefer you go back and binge them cuz we worked so hard on those episodes and we love them so much.) Also if you've been listening since day one this will be a great time for you to recap and remember some of the things that maybe you forgot about as we join Elizabeth next year in 1936. if you would like to watch us do this podcast head over to our Patreon, we recorded us sitting in Liz's house snuggled up with some hot chocolate talking about the diary. it's the same episode but this time you can see us.
