Bad-A Ladies in History 

This is the History Nerd Podcast. I am a high school history teacher who teaches her students to investigate the facts for themselves and decide what they think happened. That’s what I want to do here. I’ll present you with facts and occasionally my opinion, but I want you to decide for yourself what you think happened!
