“The weekly podcast will feature Andrews and Hamilton reading aloud from children’s books, along with music, guest appearances, children talking about new words they’ve learned, and more of Andrews’ favorite things.

The hills are alive with bookish podcasts (sorry)!
“So it’s worth getting outside of that and immersing yourself in some of the less well-trodden bits of history, or getting a totally fresh perspective on the bits you think you know. You’ve got the entirety of human history to go at, though, so it’s understandable if you’re a bit overwhelmed. So here’s 14 of our favourite history books, to get you started.”
That first paragraph in this piece is such shade! But yes, like I say all the time: there’s so much more to history!
“The Duke of Sussex introduces a new program called ‘Thomas and Friends: The Royal Engine,’ which has a storyline that includes Harry’s father and grandmother, Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, as animated characters.
Set when the Prince of Wales was a boy, the story sees the friendly engine taking Sir Topham Hatt, the controller of the railway, to Buckingham Palace to receive an honor.”
Look at Harry, lookin’ all happy & free!
