Life of Bryan

Daily History in under 5 minutes
I love how in under 5 minutes I get a comprehensive description of an event that happened on the same day in a previous year.
A wide range of types of “historical events” are highlighted across the episodes. Most of the events aren’t included in mainstream textbooks. That’s the best kind of history.
Where did it go?
Love this pod but where did it go? No episodes on Apple podcasts since July 11, 2021? Otherwise, great pod with wide variety of events.
