Check out this Podcast!
I don’t know if many people listen to podcasts as often as I do, but I stumbled upon one last night that I realized I had to talk about. Growing up with Star Trek: The Next Generation on at home all the time, I grew attached to LeVar Burton’s voice. When I discovered Reading Rainbow…
