Wonderful Walk Through The Past

I just recently discovered this podcast and I’m loving the format, idea, and approach. I’m pulling out my original copies as I go through the episodes and following along with the hosts. Loads of fun for Bronze Age “kids” like me and I wish the show a good long run.
