Customer Reviews
Great podcast and entertaining
These podcasts have been informative/educational and have humorous. Above all they have been interesting to listen to the research that has been taking place.
Increasing awareness of the world around us is becoming even more important as we move away from the self reliance for food and water.
This podcast opens the multifaceted world around us.
