It’s the last read-along of Season Two! We’re reading Judith McNaught’s A Kingdom of Dreams, which is the actual book that blooded Sarah when she was wee. This week we’re talking old-school romance, what McNaught was doing with this book and this hero who is so unlike all the heroes who came before him, and why (book) Jennifer is the perfect namesake for (our) Jennifer.We might not be doing read alongs until August, but that doesn’t mean your TBR won’t still be groaning under the weight of our recommendations — we’ve got a bunch of rec episodes lined up for summer….oh, and did you know Sarah has a book out in three weeks? Order it from Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Books-a-Million or from your local indie, or order it signed from her local indie, WORD Bookstore, and get a special edition Fated Mates sticker with your purchase!As summer approaches, if you are up for leaving a rating or review for the podcast on your podcasting app, we would be very grateful!Show NotesMarty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, was the main character in an excellent 1985 time-traveling movie called Back to the Future.Sarah's next book, Daring and the Duke, comes out at the end of the month. Preorder from WORD in Brooklyn and you'll recieve a limited edition yellow Fated Mates sticker.Whitney, My Love is an early McNaught historical romance that the author changed because in the original text, the hero rapes and horsewhips the heroine. The hero of A Kingdom of Dreams, Royce Westmoreland, is one of Clayton's ancestors, but we think he is McNaught correcting the record on the Alpha hero. In the IAD novella episode, we talked about the changes in Whitney, My Love. Whitney also came up in the Alpha episode that started the season, because it's impossible to talk about the primordial alphas without talking about the early Alpha.More on the four books that comprise the Westmoreland series.Who do we talk to get A Kingdom of Dreams on audio? Oh, you can email a request to Audible.Jen learned about 1497 on Wikipedia. As one does.Women could inherit a title in Scotland.Margaret Tudor was Henry VII's eldest daughter, married to James IV of Scotland to bring peace to the border. Fun fact, once James IV died (thanks for nothing, Henry VIII, you were the worst), Margaret acted as Regent until James V of Scotland, but when that didn't work out, she married two other dudes and also staged a coup, so we don't really know why we don't all sing her praise always. Yeah, we do. Patriarchy. Anyway. Sarah didn't learn about Margaret Tudor on Wikipedia, but you can.All about the bliaut. Sarah would like you to know she looked up bliauts on Wikipedia after we recorded and now she's an expert. High-fives to all Wikipedia editors. Nothing without you.Tinctures, tonics, and teas is Fated Mates shorthand for historicals where medicine women knew various herbal remedies for preventing or ending pregnancy. Or in this case, causing life-long impotence.We talked a little bit about the freedom of setting a romance in Medieval times on our Scottish Romance episode, so head over and listen to that if you're interested.Jen's obsessed with the idea of the Vietnam Hero, but doesn't know where to start. Probably with finishing the Ken Burns Vietnam documentary.Jousting. WTF.What would Jurgen Klopp say?While we're talking about Judith McNaught and Wikipedia, do not sleep on her page. Divorce celebrations, Coors Brewing Company tie-ins, the invention of the non-clinch romance cover, moving to Dallas after going there on book tour...it has it all.Support Black Lives Matter and bail funds in your city or state.Shop and support Black-owned Indie bookstores.Register to vote.

 Amy explains some of the ancient history of runes and runic magic. Where did these 24 symbols originate and how did they get into tiny magical bags on the shelves of bookstores the world over? It's a little like Ken Burns' Vietnam, but with the Occult!

Toronto artists Amy Lam and Jon McCurley have been collaborating for 13 years as Life of a Craphead. On this week’s episode, we talked about their current exhibition, “Entertaining Every Second,” which has toured throughout Canada to its current site of Montreal; self-organizing a 30-show live even series called Doored; why cutting your teeth on stage makes you a better sculptor; the glaring problems with Ken Burns’ “Vietnam” documentary; King Edward VII; whether or not people in Toronto live in bars; and so much more. The outro music is “Ontario” by Neil Young.

This week we attempt to watch Ken Burns’ epic ten-part Vietnam documentary, and allow ourselves to get extremely depressed at the futility of war while asking: Is there some sense in which we need war? Are Americans, in particular, fond of the notion of “holy war”? Can there ever be a purely “secular war”? Is America headed for another Civil War? We interview Dr. James Byrd, professor of American religious history at Vanderbilt Divinity School, on the religious imagery of battle and America’s holy war tradition. In the Kitsch Corner, we vainly attempt to lighten the mood by analyzing a poster that advertises a Rapture-themed paintball game.

I am honoured to receive the Senate Sesquicentennial Medal "in recognition of my valuable service to the nation." But fortune is a wheel... Music / Let Them Be Hunted Soundly - WKT2 #28 I was originally also going to use Depeche Mode and Queen's Get Down Make Love. I cut way back. The music is De Natura Sonoris from The Shining, because it references so much we've used / talked about: Beatles Day In A Life, Pedro The Lion Winners, Pat Metheny, ELO, Genesis' Revine (which references Ken Burns' Vietnam), Syd's I've Got A Bike (then Floyd's Time). I wanted to go back to something simpler, not so polished... my old (not-so-confident, stuttering ) self. Where you're not completely sure where the soundtrack will come in = tension.

Stephan, Chad, and David deal with the breaking news that Senator John McCain may quite possibly have killed Graham-Cassidy, the latest (and please for the love of god final) attempt by the Republicans to repeal the ACA. Then they talk about the dotard-in-Chief's appearance at the UN General Assembly, and how David really likes the word "bellicosity." Oh, and they talk about Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary, and Stephan breaks out his Peter Coyote impression.

Why Tom feels that Ken Burns’ new mini-series on the Vietnam War has some good lessons for us all in terms of the continued battle in Afghanistan.
