Great Podcast

I’ve been listening for about 6 years (since I was 7). You are a very dynamic and energetic storyteller and I’ve learned a lot. But on my phone it says that The last episode recorded was in November 2018, almost a year ago. I want to know if it is just an error on my part or if you have stopped recording for some reason. If that is the case then I would really like to know how come.
Hope you are well,
Thank you

Thank You!!!

I was looking for a breakdown of Ancient History that was informative without being so incredibly heavy that I end up falling asleep.
This is wonderful and exactly what I needed. My daughter can listen along with me!
