Who's the undercover chick who got elected pope in (11)66?

Or, the continuing story of one time I read a Straight Dope article about this and then thirty years later I made Dr. Jesse do a #podcast about it.

We talk about Edward, Duke of York's list of 1100 dog names and the regulation of spelling. (It's way funnier than this makes it sound.)

Your podcast rating was 4.8, and then a drawing of 4.8 stars. Black text on a red background.
Finally this year Spotify Wrapped was delivered in English (prev it was in Thai). A good chance to discover we have over 1,800 followers who are actually pretty evenly distributed across age groups.
Also, I had to look it up. Twenty-two people have rated #askAMedievalist on Spotify. Thank you all.

New podcast at #AskAMedievalist about the first two branches of the Mabinogion. If you read Old Time Religion and wondered who Arawn was, we talk about him a bit here. And if you didn't read OTR, the stories are just pretty fantastic in their own rights.
