The Midnight Owl

by Rachel Dyer

The Midnight Owl is a podcast about everything. I have spent years burning the midnight oil to learn as much as I can. And the owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom and knowledge. So lets explore The Midnight Owl and learn together. Each week I, Rachel Dyer, explore a new topic that has piqued mine, or my listener's interest. That means we are learning something different every week. Some days the topic will be history the next something science maybe followed by a little true crime. Some episodes will be just me telling tales and others will be interviewing experts or friends.
