Profile Image for L. Dunn

Such a fun and informative podcast!

I’m not a history nerd but if I’d had instructors like all of the participants in these podcasts, I definitely would have been in that track! Fascinating And all
Of these stories behind the stories! Can’t give the entire podcast enough stars or praise!

Oh and only Audibles recent screwy lack of cohesiveness in being able to give reviews immediately after podcast or books… progress no doubt… stops me from reviewing the recent individual podcast.
