Thought provoking and fun!!

This podcast was recommended by a friend and boy am I glad I gave it a listen. I started with the marshmallow episode and was hooked after learning about the shearing of a marshmallow. I’m an engineer who has always had an interest in history - so this podcast is literally perfect. I find myself getting emotional, laughing out loud and everything in between when listening. Thanks Matt and Destin!! (Ps just learned Destin is taller than Matt from an old episode - did not picture that in my head hahahah)

Amazing, Thought-Provoking Podcast

A friend recommended this podcast a year or so ago and I gave it a try. It quickly became one of my favorite podcasts. I started from episode one and have now listened to every episode and it is now, definitely my favorite podcast. I come from an engineering background by education and I didn’t really appreciate history growing up. One of the biggest things that I found personally through this podcast is a developed sense of interest, wonder, and enjoyment of history. Thanks Matt! I also come from a Christian background, and Matt and Destin do mention their Christian beliefs occasionally, but I feel like they do the best out of almost anyone I know at not pushing their beliefs on others and just sharing what they believe and how it affects their decisions and world view. Overall, I have enjoyed every episode of this podcast and can’t wait for each new one. Proud to be one of the Winged Hussars!

Effective and Affective… and fun

NDQ has an impact on how I think about some things, and that is a good thing….most of the time. ;-) And it is fun and engaging.
