May 27, 2026Episode 0133: EU History Class
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Surely there are many options we come upon through our times, to go this way or that, or maybe a third and more options to select from. However, there is the one big selection, to the left or to the right, that we could probably identify if we really thought about it, and so I have.
