Welcome to Hail to the Chief: Spanish Edition: Yikes, with special guest appearance from Kayla [Last Name Redacted].
This is the actual episode where Dirk and Max discuss King Fruela of Asturias. Previous listeners may remember this king, and Dirk's opinion of him. Will Max agree, or will our two hosts differ? Failing that, can this son of Alfonso hope to match his father, in greatness or in goodness? Tune in to find out.
