| 0:00.0 | Two and a half years ago, Zee came into the studio and did a shop talk where she discussed a book written by Bob Altamire in 2006. |
| 0:08.2 | And ever since that moment, and increasingly over the last year, we've had members request that we release that episode publicly so everyone can hear it. |
| 0:18.7 | We've even had people suggest that we release it as a standalone purchase, |
| 0:22.9 | but that just seems weird to me. So I'm just going to release it here on the main feed right now. |
| 0:29.9 | I hope you enjoy it, and the next regular episode will launch later today or tomorrow. Thanks for listening. |
| 0:37.7 | Chivalry is here, and it's starting to get weird, and it's only going to get weirder. |

| 1:18.1 | tell the conquest without the resistance. Yeah. So we've been stayed similarly close to the resistance |
| 1:24.4 | because to tell one with the other is to really miss the story. Oh yeah. And this is a huge moment in history. So we've stayed very close and we're going through the story, the complete arc of Harward as well. Yeah. So we have that other element present and that people know about it. It's also just an untruth to tell such a story of conquest and not and pretend that there |
| 1:44.4 | was no resistance. Yeah. Because that is the story of the people being conquered is, is their |
