I love this podcast. Can’t wait for the next episode
Such a great podcast. Dr. Bhat deserves an award!
I found this podcast through the podcast twisted tales, and decided to give it a try. I like it, the stories are interesting and the host is great.
Dr. Bhat is a fantastic storyteller! I love the final segments in each episode of “what if this particular topic had happened today?” and “what do I think?” where she provides her opinion based on evidence. I also really love her science content on YouTube/instagram/tiktok (called TIL Science)
Just finished the Roanoke episode, and there was wayyyy too much sympathizing with the settlers. I get that it’s a story about them, but that type of language was unnecessary. Also, she says that the Native perspective has been ignored, yet she fails to explore it herself.
