Episode 33 – Angolan Civil War of the Simpsons

Things take a turn for the vulgar this week, as we discuss “War of the Simpsons”, an episode written by the non-existent John Schwartzwelder that sees Homer embarrass himself at a party by getting drunk and lecherous, before winding up at a couples retreat where he almost catches a massive catfish. Along the way we meet the Queen of the Harpies and hear a domestic argument drowned out by the Mexican Hat Dance.

For the history we’re covering Angola, from the feuding kings of the Kingdom of Kongo, through Portuguese colonisation, and finally the civil war that didn’t conclude until 2002.

Please listen and share!
