History Buffoons Podcast
Two buffoons who want to learn about history!
Our names are Bradley and Kate. We both love to learn about history but also don't want to take it too seriously. Join us as we dive in to random stories, people, events and so much more throughout history. Each episode we will talk about a new topic with a light hearted approach to learn and have some fun.
