Description
There are thousands of brand names, store names, products, and just “things” that are named after people. So in each episode of my podcast I’ll give you the back story to a recognisable product, shop or thing. The stories are fascinating, and I’ll reveal the name at the end.
Episodes of the podcast will be released each time a fundraising milestone is met. So you can advertise your business on this podcast, or even just get a shoutout by donating to keep the podcast going. Head to buymeacoffee.com/NameTales for more information.
