A Podcast to Remember

Oh my goodness. Such a good podcast. The show is well paced and it is fresh. The topics are brought to life while the use of audio clips makes the show so much more enjoyable. I recommend you listen to the podcast.

Fun and enlighting to listen to

These podcasts are fun to listen to for several reasons.

First, they give us a glimpse into history with factual comments, yet from the perspective of someone who's living in today's world.

Second, Meagan, our hostess through these entertaining history lessons, uses vintage sound effects and, when possible, old commercials, to enhance the listening experience.

Well worth subscribing to!
