21- More blood on the shadows
In this episode, your hosts take you once more to the delightful (or not) realm of political deaths. Some of them just stop being alive, some are murdered, some experience chop chop, but all men must die -kings, princes who are also kings, men who used to be kings, people who got rid of kings, people who didn't want to get rid of kings, people who are not monarchs too.
Also, Virginie needs to come clean: she said "kings" were banned from the streets of Paris but she meant "pigs" 😅 (also, as her voice testifies, she was sick and deserves a break. Same for that time she forgets a key word in a sentence but it still makes sense)
Tell your friends and even your enemies about this episode in real life and on social media, and if you liked what you hear, leave us a firework of stars and rave about us in a review on your podcast app of choice.
Also, check out our Patreon! Virginie reads LOTR for the first time and is currently finding Jesus, you do not* want to miss it! (*or maybe you do) (up to you!)

Virginie talks about the death of Philippe de France and the French Revolution. She hated the exercise of concision about a whole goddam war fought inside and outside the country so resorted to videos for high school students and the like:

Thank you for this comment -it is absolute gold! We too would love to see flying cars and way fewer vampires

Shoutout to Robbespierre, he was a real OG. If he’d have gotten opportunity to give the Ancien Regime vampires in Austria free rabies checks Serbia would now have flying cars and.
