Thanks for the your!
Such a delight!
I found this by accident but have thoroughly enjoyed going through the previous episodes. Really enjoy the host
One of the Best!!
Oddly enough, I have only recently discovered the joys of listening to podcasts. I just never had thought much about them. In the last few months, I’ve been looking up my favorite subjects - and I discovered this podcast ! Love it! Carol gives the listener a really thorough history lesson—she does his homework!! And I absolutely love the topics! She puts a lot of thought and tons of great historical facts in these podcasts! I’m hooked!
