“I found the side door and wondered in, and it has been a delight! The variety of topics and stories are intriguing for the intellectually curious! The more we learn about our own history the better we are prepared to understand present challenges.”

“Always such interesting content and stories from the far flung reaches of our planet which are attributed to items which may be found in the collections of the Smithsonian. A must for those fascinated in the ephemera of the human experience and students of the human condition alike.”

“This used to be an interesting podcast about Smithsonian insights and oddities. Now it is focused almost exclusively on social justice stories. Their are better social justice podcasts and, sadly, there are now better podcasts about museum-based insights”
