The new episode of my podcast is available now! It's the hilarious story of the misadventures of the Second Pacific Squadron of the Russian Baltic Fleet during the Russo-Japanese War. During their 18,000 mile voyage, the crew's mishaps are the kind of shenanigans that I desperately want to see turned into a new television series.
I had a lot of fun telling this story to my co-host, and I think you'll enjoy it if you give it a watch! And I'd love you forever and ever if you watched it, liked it, and subscribed to our channel!
