PODCASTS OF THE WEEK: FOR THE INQUISITIVE MIND

ETHEL MWEDZIWENDIRA [email protected]

Humans are inherently curious creatures. Whatever the reasoning or evolutionary purpose behind this, all people are essentially curious. With the return of my weekly podcasts, I wanted to give listeners podcasts I thought were enticing for curious minds and ones that answered questions that are often left unanswered. So grab some headphones and enjoy.
