Really loved this guest! Great work guys!

there's a big ethnic boundary in quebec between the french who would divide land as described in thin strips with the narrow end on the river versus the english who would divide land in big abstract squares. I've always thought it made more sense the french way, you get to concentrate the infrastructure and the people a bit closer together and have the crops just vibing a bit farther away, versus having the one country house in the middle of the field 20 minute walk from anything else

Loving this ep and guest, but: Fronce.

Really loved this one. I'm not the biggest fan of medieval European history, but this was a fascinating perspective. Eleanor's really witty and engaging, too.

Great guest, but her accent sounds just like Andrew Tate--and that shit was mad distracting.
