Episode Synopsis

George Webber is a dedicated Sonoma Historian. He has spent the last 20 years bringing our history to life through animated portrayals of Sonoma icons like General Vallejo and Agostin Haraszthy, and the inimitable Mark Twain. Though it's George doing the talking, he completely embodies these characters, not shying away from the nuances that made them less than ideal personalities. It's that dedication to finding the truth that gives us a better appreciation for each one's historical significance.
Alongside that passion for true storytelling, he has created and written a long-time radio melodrama, Radio Theatre of the Wild West which features characters like Wild West Willie and Old Cougar Face – a far cry from his previous career as an options trader.
In this episode, we talk about the genesis of his now famous Sonoma Historical Walking Tours, the inspirations for his radio program, his other wonderful characters like Luigi the Italian Chef and Professor Vine, his upbringing in Des Moines and wine expertise, as well as some of the lessons he has learned along the way.
