Sinopsis

Flags of the World is a podcast inspired by my 6-year-old son's love for flags. The study of flags is known as vexillology. So this here will be a vexillological podcast. I'll attempt to describe the appearance of flags from countries around the world - and eventually US states. We'll touch on the meaning behind the colors and designs on each flag. There'll also be some (fun) facts about each country and/or flag. If you've got pictures of country or state flags near you, post them on Instagram and Twitter, using #FlagDadPod.
