…because I’d give it 11! Love the hosts! :)))
Very informative and Interesting
The podcast is pretty good in terms of overall entertainment, but it really hits home in brining in the science with the history while staying relevant to events of today. I can almost garantee you will learn something new by listening to this podcast and might even have a laugh along the way.
