Alright. I'm moving house. Covid is ravaging my Secret Wars guest list. It's 104* F and I can't turn off my AC to record History of Persia. So we're trying a new thing tonight. Hope y'all like mythical pirate anarchism because that's what I have on hand.

Trevor is joined by Cody Reynolds of the Accidentally on Purpose network (https://linktr.ee/aopnetwork), the Imperfect Men Podcast (@imperifectmenpod), and We Effed Up (@WeEffedUp) to discuss how Americans desperately tried to force the Korean Kingdom of Joseon to trade in the 1800s. Tomb raiding, stupid battles, and sword fights ensue.

Trevor sat down with Emma Lehman (https://www.emmalehman.com/) from Los Audio and the podcasts Gooned and Texas Twiggy to discuss the American Formosa Expedition of 1867. In a poorly thought out mission for revenge and imperialism, American sailors and marines got their first taste of East Asian jungle warfare.
