Elmo's World Podcast
493 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 months ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsAs a kid, I was always told that I was living in my own world, and thinking about deep stuff. Growing up, I never stopped. We all view the world differently. We're a little bit wrong. Or a little bit right. No one has a perfect view of the world. Then again, does that matter? Being a human is much more than just being correct. It's about being good. And if we could understand each other a little better than yesterday, then that's enough for me. I would like to hear about your world. And maybe, you could check out my world too. Elmo's World.
