A throwback show, daily radio style. Informative and encouraging with a delightfully dry sense of humor. Can’t recommend enough. Listen daily or binge a week at a time. Make this show the best thing in Christian audio.

Apple Podcasts5@mountainbadgerUnited Statesa month ago - A Quick History Lesson
I listen to this podcast almost daily and it’s great. A quick history lesson of many things that I’ve never heard about. Congratulations on seven years!
Apple Podcasts5Slack dell ecoUnited Statesa month ago - Entertaining, relevant, and informative in seven-ish minutes
I started listening to this daily during Advent last year and have made it an ongoing part of my morning routine. It is such a great listen. The quick stories in an “on this day” format from across the centuries are often surprisingly relevant to the concerns of God’s people and His church today. And the weekend and mailbag shows are packed with questions (small and large) I’ve always wondered but never asked. Grateful to have had this recommended!
