It's finally here! After a little taste of things to come last week we officially enter Romanov-tober. That's right for the entire month of October, your hosts Mickey Flykick and Aria Salan are covering the entire lineage of the Romanov family, one of the longest reigning empires in history. This week they're joined by joke-slinger extraordinaire Jack Knight to learn about Peter the Great.

Last week we learned about his boaty behaviour, this week we learn where that all lead. From his insane gap year, pardon me, "Grand Embassy", the establishment of the Russian Navy, the building of St Petersburg, 2 litres of urine, wheelbarrow shenanigans and brutal vengeance.
