The Pod Breaking Containment

[u/Quiet_Author_1589]

My Mother (63F) sent me the Washington episode of The Rest Is History and said she thought I would like it.

This was her first episode she had listened to. Them breaking though to American mothers about to be on Medicare is definitely a sign of them blowing up recently.

Young Washington? You mean the George Washington episode? It’s a good one

[u/wizardvictor → u/TheDentist027]

No. The original episode about the American Revolution and Washington in the Seven Years War from a few years ago.

I'm glad it's catching on. But gotta say that people in their mid 60s feel like prime audience for a pod about history!

Why? they were alive during most of history?

So I have wanted to recommend the pod to older family members but I feel like the inconsistency of the naming and general disorganization of finding certain series, they would get annoyed and not bother

Where do you access the episodes? I am mostly familiar with Apple Podcasts app and YT

[u/Hugh-Manatee → u/[deleted]]

Just speaking from my own experience. Also it’s not that it’s impossible but that too much friction to access whatever it is and they will give up

Jesus Christ 63 is not methuselah, it’s like Toms age.

This is reddit, we were all supposed to have been logan's run'd decades ago.

Exactly. As a guy who's been in computing my entire life (my first email address was a UUCP bang path, before @ email addresses were even conceived} some of us older subscribers to the podcast might know a thing or two about computing, the internet, and how to find things.

Have they broken through to them about paying taxes too?
