Join us as we once again chew on the bitter fruit that is Orientalism, and we ask ourselves if the rarity of a strong female lead makes this opera any more palate-able than other Orientalist comedies.

It's our Anniversary!!! Thank you to everyone who has listened to our silly opera podcast over the past year. We truly wouldn't have made this far without you. For this episode, our fabulous Patreon members chose the opera, and they voted unanimously to hear us destroy Puccini's La Bohème...and we certainly deliver on the destruction bit. Seriously, though, we are NOT on team Rodolfo.

Happy Treason Day, Peasants! This week, we bring you poor man's Mozart; the off-brand cereal your mom bought, even though you specifically asked for Lucky Charms. And you know what? It tastes exactly like the real thing anyways, so stop complaining.
