Well, let's just say we love to relive our childhood (teens anyway). We got off track so much we had to make this two episodes! Sorry! But, I think you will love Debs topic if you were a teen in the 80's. If you're of a different genre, think of it as a rambling history lesson that's not boring. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/support

We are not sure if today's topic is funny, horrifying or just plain informative. You be the judge! Kris tackles a tragic story coming out of a small town in Nagyrev, Hungary.

Episode 7: The Chop Chop Episode
Even though this episode has nothing to do with cooking or deforestation--we needed to call it this. Why? Well, as you all know, we are not audio engineers and we are trying every trick the Internet has to give us a better sounding podcast. This week, although the subject matter is fascinating, the audio is not...It took Kris all day and night of chopping and splicing to get this...if we went back to prehistoric times they would say, "topic, good. Audio, bad". But, we tried and definitely think it's worth a listen! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/support

Episode 3: A Kris and Deb Discussion - Ukraine
We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you a Kris and Deb discussion on current events. With the state of the world, we felt the Russian invasion of Ukraine was something we not only needed to learn about, but to understand the cause behind it. Although we both knew the topic this week, we did our own research in hopes of teaching each other (and you) about why this is happening and where it might be going. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/support

Intro Episode: Welcome to Today We Laughed...and Learned!
Well, what can we say...this is the introduction to our new podcast! We have made this year the year of expanding our knowledge and we would like to bring you along! Every week we will be exploring a new topic that we can honestly say we know very little or nothing at all about! We will try to learn only the important parts and share them with you because - if you are anything like us - your busy life doesn't afford you the time or attention span to learn entire novels. Let's expand our knowledge together! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/todaywelaughedandlearned/support
