Why was Sergei Krikolov described as the last Soviet citizen?

The answer to that at the end of the show.

My name's Tom Scott, and this is Latry.

In the ancient times, before the dawn of group chats, there were three heroes fated to gather around a glowing orb of power, the USBC ringlight.

Legends foretold they would embark on a noble quest to answer the riddles of a mysterious spirit,

armed only with their wits and whatever fun facts they googled on the way there.

Now the prophecy is finally fulfilled and the heroes stand ready.

Behold our three valiant guests, verily, we have the Fair, Izzy Lawrence,

from the Terrible Lizards podcast, from the Talk Like an Egyptian podcast,

from the new book, Doomsday Cows, and also with the greatest lighting I've ever seen on a video

call, Izzy, welcome back to the show.

I also have worked out how to buy cheap lighting from TikTok.

Other bad shops are available.

You have so many colours going on there. There is pink, there is blue, there is white.

I am a very pale woman. I need as much help as I can get. Tell us about the book. That's the thing that you were most excited about when we chatted before the show. Well, indeed. Well, it came out at the beginning of the months. It came out on the 1st of January. It is a children's book, but let's face it, all that means is there's no kissing in it. There's lots of adventures, though. Basically, I write historically accurate children's novels, so this is as good as you can get. It's set in 1086, as we know. That's the Doomsday. Book was written. It's set in Chester. It's about a load of cows and a girl hiding them from the Normans. So if that tickles your fancy, and what doesn't...

What, how kids like more than cows and qualitative surveys?

That is what we want.

And I tell you what, there aren't enough people called Norman these days either.
