I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still

Stories Without End from WBEZ Chicago.

Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.

Listen wherever you get your podcast.

From WBEZ Chicago, this is NerdEd. I'm Greta Johnson. And against all odds, we have made it to another weekend. Coming up, we're going to hear about feminist AF.
