April 01, 2025 S04E05: Truth Bomb Tuesday: Residue of Conjugal Coitus
This week on Truth Bomb Tuesday, we’re taking a serious and scholarly turn—because obviously, that’s what our listeners expect from a podcast about truth and history. Tune in for a completely normal discussion on such wholesome topics as… well, you’ll see. Let’s just say there’s plenty of historical throbbing (metaphorically speaking… mostly). Consider this our gift to you—because nothing says "We love you" like tuberculosis, stolen art, and the earthly conquests. Trust us, it’ll make sense. Maybe.
Available wherever you get your podcasts… if you dare. 😏🔥
(P.S. No monsters were harmed in the making of this episode… but several historical figures might wish they had been.)
