honestly i absolutely love this pod. its really interesting and i love how a kids comes on the show. i also love how they make history and learning fun! like adding silly jokes or weird characters. i actually used to absolutely HATE history. but now its my favorite subject! li listen to it ever night while I'm trying to sleep. im disabled so i find it really hard to sleep. BUT his pod has totally helped me. personally i think that making the pride flag episode was a little inappropriate for kids with religious beliefs such as myself but i can understand why some kids find that interesting! ( also not trying to hate so sorry if its coming off as that im so sorry 😭😭but other then that i love the pod! i also love how they leave hint or references to there pods. like hermy gumpy and "joy hates mayo" Thanks Joy!! ( pls do a podcast about the game slugbug)
