I love science and the discovery of things. This podcast is designed to push me a tad and educate me and you as well. The way it works is pretty simple. You and I see things in our lives that we all take for granted. Do we every stop to think about where they came from, who invented them, what it was initially prior to what it is today? I wonder about this stuff all the time. So I'm allocating myself just 20 mins to research that item and gather as much information as I can in that time. Then I will tell you what I have learned. The hope is you find it educational and entertaining. Please subscribe to keep this podcast going. It would mean a lot to me.
