Lies Rescheduled, Wall Scroll Pre-Orders Extended!

We're doing a one-off this week, and it's about a person that James really loves and wanted to talk more about in a special Lies segment. So we decided it would make most sense to add that segment to the Opium Wars Lies, and delay that episode until next week!Since we're effectively extending the period during which we'll still be talking about the Opium Wars, we also extended the period in which people can order the special wall ...

Urbino - The Light of Italy: Federico da Montefeltro - Extra History

Sorry for the delay - but the results are in! Dan didn't have a raffle bowl this time, so he rolled the Dice of Fate. And the result: libertadores!
