Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II Was An Astrology Girlie?

Host Orli Matlow welcomes comedian Emily Baker for a delightfully riff-heavy episode about Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and The Thirty Years War. They talk Habsburgmaxxing and Mar-A-Lago Face, Queen Charlotte’s yassification of King George III, and the common misconception that Les Miserables is about the French Revolution. Emily tells the story of Princess Caraboo—the original Rachel Dolezal—and they commiserate over shtetl boobs and the influence of Silicon Valley.  Oh, and Les Mis actually PREDATES the Paris Commune. War is Stupid regrets this error!  Theme music by This Revolution Production Collective.  Follow Emily: Instagram Follow Orli: Website Instagram TikTok
