I love that this is done as a conversation- the banter makes it fun, as though I’m just learning from a friend.
This is by far my favourite podcast. I get to laugh and learn all of the crazy things that have happened in Canada’s past. What I’ve been most surprised by so far is how funny some things f the stories are that the Indigenous people would tell the European explorers.
This is a very interesting show, and I look forward to where it’s going to go.
