The Insightful Ramblings team starts off the show discussing the skills that we each think every person should know.  We follow up that conversation with a happy trip down memory lane to discuss historical periods most similar to the present day United States of America.  To close out the show, Alec previews our next episode.  We hope you enjoy the show and please reach out with any questions or comments for the show!  We can be reached at insightfulramblingspod@gmail.com
