Customer Reviews
Definitely Missed That in Class
Grateful the way Holly and Tracey thoughtfully weave together such an interesting tapestry of topics each week. High quality research and presentation time after time on subjects I most definitely missed out on in history class. Thanks for expanding my pool of knowledge, ladies!
Annoying hosts
