Happy Holidays!

"Dear George, remember no man is a failure who has friends. Thanks for the wings, Love Clarence." - It's a Wonderful Life

Happy Holidays from Matt and Peter (aka the "Wets Bandits"... J/K!) at the Matt Ward History Experience Blog and Podcast!

The twelfth and final episode of the MWHE Podcast will be posted on January 1, 2017. This episode features my interview with historian and author David Petriello. 

Our podcast will return on February 1, 2017 in a new biweekly format. The Weigh-In will feature interviews that focus on the sport of boxing both past and present. Our first episode will feature my interview with former super middleweight boxing contender Frank Savannah. We look forward to another fun season of podcast episodes, and hope all of the MWHE readers and listeners will join us for our new show! 

Your Friends,

The MWHE/The Weigh-In Team
