About War Between Brothers

War Between Brothers is a history podcast hosted by Josh Blanchard that takes listeners deep into the American Civil War—told from the Southern perspective. Through storytelling, firsthand accounts, and thoughtful analysis, Josh explores the causes, conflicts, and consequences of the war that tore a nation apart.

And how has that legacy shaped the South today? Whether you're a student of history or just curious about the human side of America’s most brutal conflict, War Between Brothers offers a fresh, honest look at a war that still echoes through the present.
