Love the show. I’ve been waiting for you to talk about Eleanor Roosevelt.
Great content but the narration is hard to listen to.
This is such a wonderful podcast. I enjoy each and every episode. I do have a big complaint- sorry- the sound quality is terrible. Sometimes it sounds like the hosts are talking underwater. The volume fluctuates often and is sometimes very low and muffled. It would be awesome if this could be rectified.
Thank you for making this podcast. It is really interesting and I can learn about women I never heard from. What sounds weird to me is talking about the parents as mama and papa. But maybe other listeners like that. Go on.
I love this podcast! It brings the history in a funny, informative way and is appropriate for all ages. Keep up the good work!
