“This podcast would make a great syllabus for an undergrad degree. And way more useful than a lot of them.
If you listen randomly, pick a subject you don’t think you like and get a great surprise!
The best!”

“This is my favorite podcast. I often have to rewind podcasts when I realize my brain has wandered but NOT HERE, KIDS! The asides help me understand what’s going on, pique my interest more, but don’t stray so long from the path that I’ve forgotten where we are. The pacing is *chef’s kiss*...”Read full review »
