FUN SHOW!

I love listening to these two, they have such great back-and-forth, and clearly love what they’re doing! Every episode is full of interesting history, as well as lots of laughter!

Guy Morris Interview!

Super interesting and creepy! If you like Jenkins…Give it a listen.

Irritatingly boring

If you have trouble sleeping, listen to the Queen Liliuokalani episode. I’m impressed with how the hosts managed to take something fascinating and make it boring. The interjected commentary and the slow um hmms just make it that much worse.
