Seriously great pod
This show really hits all the sweet spots for a good pod. Solid facts. Great premise. And some seriously funny hosts. Absolutely subscribe.
people need to keep better secrets
very good podcast, apparently everyone in history has been a huge gossip and very bad at hiding private information.
