EPISODE 49: Operation Babylift
Throughout the month of April 1975, in a mass evacuation known as Operation Babylift, around 2,000 infants and children were airlifted from orphanages in South Vietnam to the United States. In this episode we bring you stories from the first and last flights of that operation — one ending in tragedy, the other in joy.

What is a Podcast?
So “What is a podcast?” The simplest explanation is that podcast is an audio program, just like one you might listen to on the radio except that you listen to it using your computer or smartphone. Typically podcasts are audio stories or discussions broken down into episodes that focus on a specific topic or theme. Most smartphones come with applications already installed on them that let you subscribe to it and listen to it whenever you like but you don’t have to use them. The web browser on your phone or computer is all you need to get started. You can listen using your headphones, speakers, Alexa devices, Google Assistant or even in your car.
