Episode description
Dear Diary, this year for Christmas I would like all the old books in the world, and I think I may know where to find them. This week Shannon dives deep into the tunnels beneath the Kremlin for the legend of the Lost Library of the Czars. Emma nerds out, the tangents are unending, and we may have figured out our drag king names. Also, is your name Ivan? If so, you may be eligible to be a groom proxy!
