Last night I listened to SEVERAL Stuff You Missed in History Class podcasts from HowStuffWorks.com.  I listened to these a lot last summer at work, and I'd forgotten how much I liked them.  Two girls host them, and they're very pleasant and not annoying at all.  Plus they try to actually research the topic instead of just serving up the usual ( Read more... )
