The Oregon Trail is consistently taught in U.S. history classes throughout the country.

Listen to this episode of The Everything Bagel Podcast for the news headlines from early to mid-April, an examination of America’s history in Oregon and The Oregon Trail, or our Smoke Break segment, where we discuss new pop music (from Lady Gaga’s Mayhem, Ariana Grande’s brighter days ahead, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s I Said I Love You First, to Rachel Chinouriri) as well as Sophi’s Coachella predictions and feedback.
