You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Grownups, if there's a child in your life who is interested in, curious about, or fascinated by people and places from history, then my podcast, the past and the curious, might just be a hit in your home.

From the invention of microscopes to world-traveling dogs, to fashions of the 1890s, gold rush ghost towns, and audiences going wild for walking competitions,

we've got a little bit of it all.

Hosted by children's author and museum educator Mick Sullivan, that's me, the show is

fun, funny, engaging, honest, and beloved by kids and parents alike.

Find the past and the curious at all the usual podcast places.

All you need is a few minutes to start your day off with something historic when you listen to the This Day in History podcast.

Every day there's a new episode for you to listen and learn about what happened that day

way back when.

So listen and subscribe to This Day in History, wherever you get your podcasts.
