Meant for a history lover who is also just a girl!

I stumbled upon this podcast by accident and it’s now one of my favorites that I now recommend to all my history lover friends and coworkers. Every single episode is so fun and touches on so many different parts of time in history. (Something I love). I learn something knew every episode, and even some things that stick with me every day. (Kellogg cereal) (IYKYK) I can’t wait for all the future episodes!!!
