    I look forward to this podcast every week
    I found this podcast in the NPR app and it has become one of my very favorites. There isn’t any filler, it’s all content. It gives useful information aimed at people at home, not specialists, but it doesn’t talk down. They bring in interesting experts in their fields. I always walk away with something I hadn’t known before I listened. I hope it runs forever.
