On this episode of the Big Time Talker podcast, we dive into the hidden corners of Civil War history with author Robert Hillard, whose award-winning historical fiction novel In Freedom’s Shadow uncovers the remarkable story of John Scobel—a man born into slavery who escaped to freedom, only to return to the South as a spy for the Union. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/burke-allens-big-time-talker-podcast-by-speakermatch/id1504107148?i=1000705381742

Host Burke Allen chats with Robert about the inspiration behind the book, the real-life intelligence networks of the 1860s, and how a single paragraph on the CIA website led to a seven-year research journey. We explore themes of dual identity, bravery, and the complex emotional weight of returning to danger for a greater cause. Whether you're a history buff, an aspiring writer, or someone who just loves a good story, this conversation is packed with intrigue, insight, and inspiration.
