United Statesa year ago - Where is 1st episode of childhood exploring world through play?
Displays only one episode but audio says it’s 2nd episode??? Very confused?
Apple Podcasts1Pod_lyAustralia2 years ago - Used to enjoy :(
I used to enjoy this podcast but it seems to be implicitly pushing some sort of politically correct agenda. No longer presents objective facts. Not only is that approach condescending and obnoxious for critical thinkers, it also has the ability to manipulate/influencers those listeners who are not, which is probably their objective. I won’t be listening anymore and will unfollow. Very disappointed in the BBC.
