I enjoyed the Versailles episode. I think the bastards of history give a lot of context to the modern one. An episode on the Romans' use of client kings to subvert nations may cause some fun rapid blinking in your listeners.

You know I ran here as a refugee from Russia’s war and anti-trans crusade—got here just in time to watch it turn into an authoritarian regime and start cosplaying Russian ‘90s. Second ‘90s in my lifetime… just my luck.

*Checks notes*
... hates Trans people, scapegoats immigrants, cuts public funding and keeps moving their policies to the right in order to attract conservative voters..
If the American Empire collapses like Rome I am preemptively applying for the role of the Canadian version of Alaric. We'll do this but with the Washington Statue in the Rotunda (this is a joke if the FBI is reading)
