That's just too jarring.
But I would like to point out for listeners that if you want to get a geographical take, you can do that.
Just jump around on your episodes.

Being able to do, first of all, one episode, which I very much enjoy.
And I confess that it was one of the easier episodes to do because it was obviously I don't have sound design and the same rich level of detailed storytelling that I can do in the classroom.
But that episode, I want to say that was 128 episodes.
Forgive me if I misrecall a number, but being able to just lay out 99 years of causes building from Napoleon to the start of the war and then doing an episode where it was, hey, here are the highlights of World War I for the first 75% of the conflict, right?
It's the right thing to do when you're giving the U.S.

forces literally on opposite sides of the globe.
And I do want to be careful, or rather I'll say I've been very mindful, as I am in the classroom when I teach World War II,
