Now & Then

I’m not worthy to make this review because I’m merely a science professor, who is also a Sufi priest. Be that as it May I have been teaching both meditation and human anatomy and physiology for a long time. I’m 75 now and as a long time teacher, I know genius when I see it. This is a podcast to savor. Something to sip slowly and bring it into your meditation. When Heather corrects Preet’s historical understanding, it’s a pretty special moment. I like listening to these podcasts multiple times as I begin reading and rereading Democracy Awakening.

This podcast relates history to our current situation. Each topic is interesting, & as history is applicable to our current times. Drs Freeman & Richardson provide a wealth of knowledge in an easily understandable presentation. They are not above humor & fun! WHY is it ending? That is a travesty!

You were my favorite podcast. It meant so much to be able to put all of today’s craziness into historic perspective. I love that you shared your friendship and laughter with all of us through your podcast. Thank you for all you did.

I came to this podcast through Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters from an American”. I so appreciate the thoughtful perspective that Heather and Joanne bring with their vast knowledge of history and ability to apply this expertise to our current circumstances in the US. I love going ‘back to school’ with them every week. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication! *Edit - as I pulled up reviews to add my disappointment to many other listeners, I found this review I apparently never sent. I just listened to the last episode today and I am so sad to lose this weekly ritual. Please bring it back!!
