Exceptionally unique!

I'm a history nut, and my daughter turned me onto the shorts on Instagram. When I found out they had a podcast I immediately went in search of it. Now, I'm not a big fan of podcasts as I don't really have an affinity to all the chitchat that typically go along with them, however, I am truly enjoying this one. Hearing about Elizabeth's day to day life with all the joys and struggles, is just something extra special. I'm only 3 deep so far, but I usually don't make it past the first episode in podcasts.
