These add a little to the day—informative!
Enjoy the podcasts, but someone needs to check the facts!

I listen to the podcast every day as part of my morning routine and really enjoy the host and brief history lesson. But as another reviewer wrote, in the March 14, 2025 episode it was stated that Einstein had email! Quite a while back I was listening to an episode where it was said to be an anniversary of one of the Space Shuttle disasters. I remember being baffled at the time because it was probably around April, but I knew that the disasters happened in January and February. And just today, the anniversary of the problematic Apollo 13 mission, they stated that the lunar module successfully splashed down in the Atlantic. But it was the command module that splashed down, as the lunar module was jettisoned (as it always was) in space as it was not designed to survive reentry. Again, love the pod but if you’re making a two minute long history podcast, take two minutes to get the facts right!
Einstein had eMail?
Mar 14
During the episode dated March 14, 2025, the host, Ms. Elise spoke on Albert Einstein being considered a political radical that the government went so far to spy on him, they even “opened his email”. Not only can you CLEARLY hear her say “email”, it is also written in the transcript of the episode. Very interesting given the fact that Einstein died in the 50s and email wasn’t even considered a possibility until the 60s.🤨
Part of a great start to the day
