  • Odd host and books are better

    Hosts voice is a little too quirky and wanted more info on topic, less interviews with authors.

  • Becca Talks About Public Health

    Loved this episode! It helped me better understand public health and it was fun to get to “meet” the author! I really loved this book! I have given it to several children. It’s written in a fun voice that kids really love and it’s great for adults too because it gives the right language to talk about important ideas with kids.
