Description

Join us for this two-part podcast as we discuss everything from a massive accident that almost happened in the United States, the Donner party (because, winter), and a good old fashioned hero story.  In true parents-homeschooling-four-kids-in-winter-during-a-pandemic-fashion, we start recording on Tuesday and finish on Friday. That means you get twice the "This Day in History" segments as normal, and we get to finish off a bottle of sauvignon blanc.
