Much like Ross and Rachel, we are on a break. While I am not currently producing new episodes, I invite you to check out our past catalog and learn some fun stuff.&nbsp;

'This is Today' is a podcast for those feeling a little nostalgic, for lovers of history, and for those who need a good laugh.&nbsp;
