Episode Description from the Publisher

For the first time, listen to the crew of your fair show abdicate their preferred fine-toothed approach! Is it fair? You be the judge! Are you offended? Tell us! Engage! Engage like your lives depend on it! But worry not, kind audience, for the "Stupendica" and its ports of call are so historically salient to satisfy any apparently-endless craving for contextualization and discussion. Bon appetit!Next episode: Ch. 38-39 (p. 525-557)If you like what we're doing and want to support the show, please consider making a donation on Ko-Fi.
