Great 3 part story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stop Moving the Shows!!! No idea where I was now. This is the 5th time a show has moved on me, just this week. From now on, I am just going to unsubscribe. Why there is no way to hold our place, when you move... is beyond me.
absolutely the best single podcast episode ever
A very thought provoking audio drama ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3:10 "Pounds? Wasn't that what was used before kilograms?" "Pounds denoted both weight and monetary value" "Wait. Are you telling me people used Pounds for both?" "Only in one country. But it was a silly country. it did not end well" 😂😂😂😂
Very interesting story and podcast direction.I will keep listening!!
awesome series and worth every minute. It inspires thought, can be heart-wrenching and very hopeful, too
