Fun and Smart
School would have been more fun if we explored ideas like this podcast does. Very enjoyable.
Great find
I’m so glad that I found this podcast. I enjoy listening and learning. Keep going!
A MUST listen!!
I absolutely love this podcast, especially since history was one of my favorite subject in college. Everyone episode is so insightful. My favorite this season is the history of Cowboys. I always feel smad (sad/mad) and pride that I didn’t know this sooner but prideful that I’m learning more about my people.
