Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
As being one of his old students (2006-2007 French I, Brandon), I really think this a great podcast! The topics are really great, and it's just cool to see one of my old teachers with a podcast.
worth the time
Friendly tone and interesting content. I learned some things I thought I knew, and some that I never would have thought about knowing! The guests are diverse and knowledgeable. The host seems good natured and happy about life, which also lifted my spirits.
