Über diesen Podcast
A history teacher and an engineer walk into a bar...ouch! Except there isn’t a bar. But there are a few dad jokes. And whiskey. Two guys who know a few things, have been around a few blocks, and a few cocktails, discuss politics, science, history, technology, and—*gestures wildly*—, all while drinking and dropping pop culture references. Did we mention the dad jokes? Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for Civics on the Rocks.
