Amazing
I have been listening for UndocuTalks for a while now. Thank you for creating this podcast! I enjoyed the new summer format so much! It had a great mix of popular culture, news, and history! My only complaint is that I wish it was longer - I want to hear and learn more :)
Keep it coming!
This podcast is great. I was introduced to it by an advisor at school, and have become a huge fan of the work that Undocutalks is doing. Keep up the good work. Im excited to see this podcast grow!
