In this week's episode, Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Jay discuss one of the most significant wartime speeches of the modern era, and reflect on the nature of patriotism in times of a threat to one's nation.  They also review their favorite episodes of the week, discuss the bonus challenge, and tease a NEW bonus challenge.

We also hear a special warning from Brian Old Timey - air raid sirens played during the show mean that the subject material our hosts are discussing might be a little sensitive for young ears.  The all clear will sound when the ladies are getting back to friendlier ground.
