Basket Traffic: Entertainment Meets History
Welcome to Basket Traffic!
Brought to you by hosts Craig, Shawn and Susie. Through story telling and conversation, our podcast delves into history and entertainment and playfully examines the intersection of these two worlds. Craig thinks he knows history. Shawn is apparently into cinephilia (cinema), and Susie wants nothing to do with any of it. In short, we're seriously unserious and a little irreverent.
Have a listen and press "follow" if you enjoy it. We'd really appreciate it.
