Welcome back, dear listeners! On this most auspicious day, the day that Hulu releases its brand new series ‘The Great,’ we figured we would give you the lowdown on one of its primary figures. No, not Catherine the Great, but her husband, Peter the Mediocre At Best.
Ginger takes us on a journey through Little Carl’s terrible childhood, to his switcheroo princedom, all the way to his (186) days as Emperor of Russia, and, on the way, we’ll take side roads through Harry Potter references, the optics of bestiality, and why even rich people with sh*tty childhoods still deserve to be eaten.

The Void Will See You Now 
I’m enjoying the increased presence of Beans. Oh, and I like the podcast too. Still a first time caller, longtime listener.
