This mini bonus episode is a collaboration with the podcast Anthology of Heroes, which explores the lives of the national heroes of each nation. I’m a big fan of the podcast, and considering my older brother hosts it, I thought it would be very fun to see the national hero of Hergé’s fictional nation Syldavia get the same treatment.
