Listening is the only way to guarantee citizenship!
Hello or welcome back Lore Folk, we're going low tech again and talking a little real and a little fake but mostly book on this week's episode of the Lore Boys!
A kindly old fan (we assume) in the Netherlands suggested we cover Starship Troopers and here it is!
Today we cover the fascinating politics of the author, how it became a film, and using trebuchets as home defense.
Peter figures a world government would be so bad, Ethan gets Libertarian but needs to know where money comes from and Jamie becomes a Globalist!
Join us on this wild ride through world governments, bug wars and grenades that talk to you.Just another day, and another dollar.
Of course, if you liked the episode, we'd love to hear from you guys, so check out our Discord, our Twitter, our Facebook, and our Instagram. If you wanted to do us a huge favour, please take a minute to leave us a review on iTunes -- it's the number one way we might find new listeners and we will read your review on air!
