You make history so much fun to learn. This episode had me laughing so hard that I was in tears. Absolutely love listening to your podcasts! I'm so sad that I finished your Monday Murder Mysteries :(((( podcasts but I look forward to a new one each week !!! love you !!! 🤎

I’m obsessed with the Fat Bears ❤️
Maybe place ads only at the beginning and end — having 2–3 minute breaks constantly interrupt the story makes it hard to stay engaged. I actually turned off the last episode midway because the ads were popping up every five minutes. It’s really jarring for listeners and disrupts the natural flow of the story.
So the first time I saw one of your YouTube video, I was like ugh this girl is annoying…. But I went back and gave you another try and I FELL IN LOVE. you are so funny and ditsy and have amazing comedic timing. Also….. you kinda sound like Bart Simpson when you say certain stuff and it kills me 😂😂😂😂 but all around you make every story you tell fun and exciting!
