Episode 20: The Peace Corp vs. The Society for Creative Anachronism

You can have a shovel or a leather mug, but you can't have both. This week we determine whether 'tis nobler to White Savior into a recently semi-decolonized country and insist on capitalism, or to get shitty about the relative authenticity of other people's costumes. It's the Peace Corps, where the germ of an idea John F. Kennedy kind of swiped from Hubert H. Humphrey yielded a pipeline of deeply unqualified, overwhelmingly white college graduates into areas of the world we decided needed Help because they didn't look enough like the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. Compared to that, it seems like the Society for Creative Anachronism — picture guys sparring with fake swords even when it's not the Renaissance Festival — would be a shoo-in for this week's best club. It's closer than you think. Buckle in! This one's almost a third as long as Avengers: Endgame. But it's got way more shitty JFK impressions in it!
