Praise for the Podcast
“I’m so impressed with Maya’s ability to deliver historical facts and insight with storyteller ease. I really love how she weaves her own life experiences and pop culture into each topic to keep it interesting on multiple levels. It’s often hard for me to pay attention when I’m getting taught but she does an excellent job at calming my mind down enough to hear all the cool facts about topics that aren’t too overdone. Don’t sleep on this show!”
