They aren't midwives or nurses, but they can provide an invaluable service as advocates. Learn about the deal with doulas right now in this classic episode!

Very interesting.....

Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!
Greatest show ever

Your Bias is showing

Used the be the best podcast on earth, for a long time. Lately, not so much. The subtle liberal views and Trump Derangement inserted into episodes isn’t so subtle anymore. Has it occurred to these people that half of your audience may not support your political bias?
What about Claudette Colvin???

Houdini993

On the latest episode, asassination of Martin Luther King Jr you made a comment early on about how Ross parks kicked off the civil rights movement. That information is incorrect. 9 months before the Rosa parks incident Claudette Colvin was forced to give up her seat on a bus. Rosa parks was just a poster child. The credit needs to go where it’s due. And Rosa parks ain’t it!!!!

If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
