Bird by bird - It's all connected!

In the year 1204, Château Gaillard was captured by the king of France. In 2024, Tacks brings this up in a discussion about Part 1 of Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott. Addie, who was trying to keep the podcast running on time, did not approve the bonus history lesson.
