    Killacranky-Turning History Into a Book
    Jun 11 2026
    I had all of the articles, and I presented them word for word. I did use Claude (AI) to help sort through all of the stories and suggest an organizational spine for the book. This episode goes through how I used AI to do this work and how I asked it to research KDP pricing.

    Killacranky-Annotated Memoir - Sorting Fact From Fiction
    Jun 11 2026
    In presenting the articles my great-great-grandfather wrote, I had to separate fact from fiction. He loved to embellish, like any good southerner, with his tall tales. I used the usual sources on ancestry - like census records, etc...but I also had pulled military records, and Claude (AI) worked through various sources, matching up military history with his recollections. This episode explains various steps I took in this process.

    Killacranky-What do you Do When an Ancestor Writes Something Controversial?
    Jun 10 2026
    Almost every family history runs into it eventually: an ancestor who wrote something you can’t defend. This episode is about the hardest editorial decision there is — and why erasing the ugly parts is the real failure. My great-great-grandfather’s writing includes slurs, casual cruelty, and Lost Cause framing. I explain the line I walked — preserve the original, frame it honestly, neither sanitize nor excuse — and why a startling contradiction in the same text turned out to be the most human thing in the whole book. This episode discusses my approach to this sensitivity.
