Listening to podcasts has become my new favorite thing. I love putting them on when I’m cleaning at the end of the night, and a few of them have quickly jumped to the top of my list. NPR Politics, Serial, The Tim Ferriss Show, TED Talks — I mean, you name it and there’s a podcast on it.
There was one that I listen to the last few days that I just had to share with you! It’s called “Stuff You Missed In History Class,” and they did a two part episode on the WASPs of World War II. I was fascinated! The best part is that you don’t need an iPhone to listen to it. You can listen right on their website.

Some of the coolest parts of the podcast are why test flying new aircraft was even more dangerous than being a practice target, the incredibly difficult training these women went through, and the story of Hazel Ying Lee.
