“Growing up in Soviet Union Social Studies has been my least favorite subject. I had a feeling that there was a bias to our history books, but I also found it terribly boring. It was missing human element, some kind of relatable traits that drew me to fiction. Now that my daughter dislikes Social Studies I try to arm myself with interesting stories that I can share with her to make Social Studies, well, interesting.
I am extremely grateful that I found this podcast. It presents bite-size bits of history that are pretty hysterical with healthy dose of banter. I listen to the podcast and knit during my commute, giggling out loud at times. But I commute on the train in NYC, so I am not even close to being weird by NYC standards. And at home I casually share facts that I learned with my kid. At school they are almost up to Andrew Jackson and I can’t wait.
My favorite episode so far is the Principality of Sealand, but there are still some back episodes I’m saving for a rainy day. Let’s start a petition to rename lambs because sheeplets is clearly so much better!”
