It’s hard for any podcast to stand out these days let alone a history podcast. Yet, AOY does just that, starting with fascinating pre-history topics and bringing to these the perfect mix of fact and speculation, wit and wonder. Love the chemistry too of L.B and Lance “Fever”.

The history of the universe, brought to you by Persistence of Vision Publishing. With your hosts L.B. Deyo, William Gold, and Lance ”Fever” Myers.
