Mr M History Podcast
Cameron Mitchell
How often do you start a new educational podcast only to lose focus 10 minutes into the monologue? A history teacher is joined by two co-hosts who probably think that the Second Gulf War was when Tiger Woods faced off against Mickleson in the 2001 Masters. This is a light-hearted podcast designed to make important moments in modern history digestible for the common man and to make you sound like you know what you're talking about the next time you need to sound smart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
