Lens On History with JD Byous replaced History By GPS -----

History hides in plain sight in Savannah, Georgia, in the worn brick beneath your feet, the ironwork balconies overhead, and the quiet corners most visitors walk past without ever noticing. Every street, square, and shoreline carries the imprint of people and events that shaped not only the city, but the broader American story. Lens on History with JD Byous explores those places and the forgotten moments tied to them, bringing listeners directly into Savannah’s layered past.

Hosted by historian and storyteller JD Byous, this podcast travels through the historic streets, cemeteries, waterfronts, and landmarks of one of America’s most fascinating cities. From Colonial Park Cemetery and Revolutionary-era Savannah to the early days of professional baseball, maritime trade, and the personalities who left their mark on coastal Georgia, each episode uncovers the real stories behind the places travelers see today. These are not ghost stories or legends—this is documented history grounded in records, archives, and the physical locations that still exist.

Designed for history enthusiasts, travelers planning a Savannah visit, and locals curious about their city, the podcast connects historical research with modern exploration. Episodes often follow the geography of Savannah itself, guiding listeners through historic squares, forgotten sites, and overlooked landmarks while explaining how they fit into larger American events such as the Revolutionary War, early commerce on the Savannah River, and the cultural evolution of the city.

Whether you’re planning a Savannah travel itinerary, researching historic Savannah landmarks, or simply fascinated by American history, Lens on History with JD Byous offers a deeper understanding of the stories behind the scenery. The goal is simple: reveal the historical significance of places that many people see—but few truly understand.
