Customer Reviews
Unique, Fun, and Educational
I've been listening to podcasts since 2007, and I must say, this one is unique. Karen (Quizmaster & Hostess) does a great job at putting the show together. You can learn quite a lot and it's very enjoyable. I wish they'd increase it's length to an hour at the very least; I felt the 1st ep was too short and I ended up listening to it twice.
