United States3 years ago This is an engaging and informative way to learn more about Beethoven or discover him for the first time. The anecdotes were fantastic and historically informed. Great guest speakers and narration. The podcast gave me fuel for teaching more about Beethoven’s music and life for my middle school students. I haven’t listened to the whole podcast yet (up to episode 4) but I plan to!

A fun and interesting show to bring entertainment to your boring drive home!
