My favorite podcast
My wife and I both love this podcast. Kevin Stroud is brilliant, diligent, kind, and—most important of all—has a pleasant, mellifluous voice. Perfect for bedtime or if you wake up thinking too much aboit present problems. There’s something soothing and fascinating about the past, and the merging of etymology and history is masterfully done.
