Oh, and the framing scenes with the servants quickly became one of my favorite serial dramas.
When it's serious, this podcast is a deep dive into history. It is wonderful to see echoes of historical weirdness in our language and culture. This has given me a sense of history I never felt from histories of cities or nations.
