Brilliant take!

This podcast is utterly charming and delightful. The take on historical documents and unearthing information from so many universes fills me with absolute joy. Even the topics I would never have considered on my own I am thrown into a deep dive to learn more after every episode. I wait on tenter hooks for each new release. Thank you so much!
