Retro pod is a wonderful short brief Podcast. It was a wonderful way to start off the morning every day. It’s a great way to fight this silliness of lies and conspiracy wackos they are putting out nonsense into the environment. I think it is absolutely important. Put pressure on The Washington post to get them to start it back up. After all don’t you want your children to know the correct truthful history? Or maybe you would like to really know what truth is
Please bring back retro pod! This is such a good quality show! I’d love to see this show revived. Thank you
Minus two stars for not denoting rerun episodes in the episode titles. There are too many not to do this! Otherwise good.
I don't like the host's voice.
I teach US History at our local high school and this was a go to for beginning my classes. It’s short and simple and students love this podcast. Why stop?! 😩
