First as France, and then again as France. For some reason in this one Mayor Mattie takes us to 19th-century France and then also Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and California. That's right, we've plunged into one of her special interests!

Municipal meeting minutes include: learning how to drive barefoot from a guy with a soulpatch, Croatian Goodfellas, scheming mayors chat, headlight fluid clinics, posting is praxis, dogs of remarkable size and strength, the chore wheel at New Jerusalem, the most prepared group of people in human history, and the wrongest breakfast ever served.

November's in the mayor's seat for this one, a tragic tale of one Basque gentleman founding a beautiful utopia under a freeway and on top of a rail yard, where any business could dispose as many animal corpses and batteries as they wanted. Until the world decided that the beautiful Malburg family was too pure for this Earth.

Our favorite historian and host of The Tides of History podcast joins us to ask and answer a question that's been on our minds since we started the show: Are popes mayors? The answer is: Kind of!

To do so, we talk through the Pope's very mayor-like role during specifically the Renaissance, and the most mayor-like pope of them all, Rodrigo Borgia aka Pope Alexander VI. Now pull out your sword, and get to stabbin'!

It was the week between Christmas and New Years so the substitute teacher rolled in the A/V setup and instead of class we watched a movie. That's right!

Did you know that Alaska is more than its admittedly gorgeous train livery? That's right! They have mayors. In the shadow of Mt. POW/MIA (really) lies the town of Wasilla. We delve into what it was like before the national spotlight shone on it, a simple strip mall Deadwood where you could drive as drunk as you'd like while you carted dozens of mattresses in the back of your extended cab pickup, firing your handgun wildly out the window. Then, of course, it all changed.
