Patron Ep Unlocked: Is It Like the HRE

folks, here is an unlocked bonus episode because a winter storm of the century in the American southeast made recording impossible this week. enjoy! the bonus is back for a new year and Luke and Eleanor have been thinking about things and stuff and it's time to ruminate on them. first, Eleanor talks about the way in which rationality and a loss of spirituality supposedly went hand-in-hand with the Enlightenment. it's really been grinding her gears and she's going to speak on it. then Luke answers a discord question from patron, everyzig314, who asked him to compare and contrast the Holy Roman Empire and the Galactic Republic from Star Wars. so we get another installment of the podcast's favorite game show: Is It Like The HRE?
