Was looking for just such a podcast to go with ‘things you missed in history class’ and was leafing through my grandmother’s 1930 edition of the Boston School of Cooking cookbook on a quiet Saturday morning … and living in Seattle area … and my daughter exploring a run at UW for college … all the stars were colliding at once … I am excited to get busy with listening to all of these!! Keep them coming, please!!

United States2 years ago - Five star!
Interesting, charming, fun, educational, and just the right length (3 episodes to walk the dog.) I listened to all 56 and immediately started trying to come up with suggestions for more.
And to tincankilla, I AM smart, and I AM educated, and I challenge you to find any “academic liberal blather” in Webster’s dictionary, the ticker, or Thanksgiving.

Listened to a couple of these, and it’s academic recycling of hackish partisan stuff. Basically wasted time if you’re smart/educated.
