In this podiversiary special we present the audio of a presentation I did for this past June's Intelligent Speech Conference. For those of you listening in real time, enjoy! for those binging the archive, and not driving, you might want to check out the full video on youtube:

An update on what is happening and why, in semi real time. Basically, I am homeless. 

​In this episode we look at the first two emperors of the Salina dynasty. What did these rulers of the German Roman Empire do that could have led to the disasters to come? Well, not much. Sorry. Spoilers?

A quick but very inconvenient romp through the Ottonian dynasty from Henry I to Henry II. Confused as to why they are called the Ottonians? You will have to listen to understand! Also reappearing for special cameos: Adelheid! Spoleto! Andrew! Thousands of dead people!

We know it is good to be the king, but how does one becomes the king? Highlights include the revelation that no one has ever known how to placate angry old men at public gatherings.

Sometimes, I lie awake in bed at night, thinking about kings, wondering where they could be, who they are with, what they are thinking, are they thinking of me, and whether they'll ever return someday.

This episode is pretty much what it says on the tin. The most important thing to know going in is that you should probably not Google Scrofula before listening to the episode.
