Was looking for just such a podcast to go with ‘things you missed in history class’ and was leafing through my grandmother’s 1930 edition of the Boston School of Cooking cookbook on a quiet Saturday morning … and living in Seattle area … and my daughter exploring a run at UW for college … all the stars were colliding at once … I am excited to get busy with listening to all of these!! Keep them coming, please!!
Five star!

Interesting, charming, fun, educational, and just the right length (3 episodes to walk the dog.) I listened to all 56 and immediately started trying to come up with suggestions for more. And to tincankilla, I AM smart, and I AM educated, and I challenge you to find any “academic liberal blather” in Webster’s dictionary, the ticker, or Thanksgiving.
Charmingly Informative! 🎧

Usual liberal academic blather

Listened to a couple of these, and it’s academic recycling of hackish partisan stuff. Basically wasted time if you’re smart/educated.
