Customer Reviews
I love it! Woot woot! You are making more!
Make more please! My favorite is the trivia style one. Edit: you are making more! I’m so happy. Thank you. I love the sound of your voice in this series very nice and different than the other shows
Entertaining and educational!
One of my new favorites!
Love this!
Just found this podcast and I really enjoy it. It keeps me engaged enough to stop my thoughts from wandering but not so engaged that it keeps me awake wondering what will happen next. Harris has a nice calming voice.
