So glad to have found this podcast! Very enjoyable and well delivered!
This useless information maybe isn’t so useless if every episode warms my heart.
I am so glad I found this podcast. So full of interesting information.
A good one that doesn't get as much attention as it deserves
Just found this podcast a couple of weeks ago thanks to it's advertisment on another podcast ("The Constant " I believe). So - lucky me I've had 10 years worth of episodes to binge. I will be a little sad when I get caught up. This is a fun podcast, full of well told stories, 90% of which I've never heard before. If you enjoy quirky history stories, this podcast is for you.
I really enjoy Listening to this podcast as I mow and do renovations around the house. Very fun facts.
