VEEP episode

I am not any kind of expert in either history or.po?itics, so the Veep episode was the first and best explanation of the duties of the VP. I'd ever heard. It was interesting to hear how that position developed, and what Harris has accomplished in her term. The Hosts are easy to follow, as both are adept at filling in enough back story to keep you with their pace; but as a listener I don't feel lectured to. It feels much more like being one of the team, but offsite at the moment. If you feel the need to understand po!itics and why policies and laws are the way they are, this is a good place to start.

History explained by historians

These podcasts are so well thought out, put together and explained. It has been a huge benefit to be able to hear the history explained so eloquently. If you check out heather’s facebook page she even provides sources so you can get more info.

History they don't teach but should.

Every week we get a chance to understand what is going on today by learning about our past. Cox Richardson and Freeman trace events backto the beginning with wit, insight, and intelligence.
