Nice contents
I quite like this podcast, the contents provided are interesting and you'll hear about things you usually wouldn't stumble upon.
A bit of constructive feedback: There is a looooot of "aaaaaahh" going on, during one of the girls talks. The podcast would be even more awesome, if the rhetoric skills would be polished up a bit.
Suddenly I like history
You managed to make history lessons interesting for people who didn't enjoy it that much in school. I like the wilde variation of topics cover!
