Where Am I To Go
140 episodes - English - Latest episode: 29 days ago -“The world is full of wonder. Get out and explore. And have a wonder-filled day”.
This is the way I've been starting the podcast I've been doing for the last four years, called “where am I to go”. I have primarily focused on museums, as museums are places that I find extremely interesting, and have since I was young. I feel that museums can connect us with our past in a way that no other form of media can. You can watch a movie, read a book, or watch documentaries on TV where you can get an idea of what history was, maybe how history happened and all of those may have a biased twist to them.
