• How can I give myself a well rounded education as a middle aged woman?

  *Great Courses (thegreatcourses.com) is fantastic. Lots of "crash courses" in all kinds of topics--exactly the kind of thing I think you are looking for--delivered by professors and subject matter experts. Many ways to plug into it: can subscribe directly on their website, there is an Amazon Channel for like $3/mo if you have Prime Video. I currently use Audible.com and purchase courses through there that I listen... Source: over 1 year ago
