I’ve listened to podcasts since they first came out. Anytime there is more than 1 speaker (eg a show host & a show guest) it’s always risky due to banter & interpersonal dynamics. Heather is the main speaker with an occasional guest. Always Heather is on topic & always the history is presented in a context that is relatable. I ordered the 2026 planner & can’t wait to see it. Her level of professionalism exceeds other podcasts & I for one greatly appreciate Heather staying on topic & presenting s... more

Switzerlanda year ago - Very much enjoy this podcast
I am extremely picky about accuracy and interesting content and this podcast nails both. I like that you can tell this is a passion project and appreciate the amount of preparation the host clearly puts into each episode. I also valued the host (briefly) sharing her experience with pregnancy loss early in the show. It showed considerable bravery and vulnerability and helps bring awareness to a difficult, often ignored experience that impacts many, many people each year. Bravo!
