Meridians is a podcast created by Charlie Noble. This isn't a history or science class; it's a relaxed journey through time. I'm sifting through interesting tidbits and trying to learn something new while I'm at it. There are no sensationalized stories or conspiracy theories here—just a straightforward examination of facts. My goal is to maintain a positive perspective while honestly reflecting on our world.
