Show #84 – Walter Amos on Hetalia

Show #084 – Direct Download:

Music:
OP: “Johnny Be Good” as sung by the Sex Pistols on the album The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
ED: Hetalia end theme as sung by America

Recorded at Genericon 2011. Posted with the permission of Walter Amos. Mr. Amos describes how anime has gotten high school girls into one of his favorite historical topics, the Prussian Empire.

We all learned a lot about Frederick the Great, who was totally amazing and probably gay. He had a terraformed garden like Nausicaa’s, popularized the potato to help keep German people from starving, composed flute sonatas, and did tons of other great stuff socially and economically which you’ll hear about in Amos’s amazing lecture.

    In Ben Franklin’s defense…

    Domestic turkeys drown in the rain because they’re too stupid to turn their beaky faces out of the way of the raindrops.

    Wild turkeys are very clever, though. Among the more clever of wild birds. Franklin was thinking of wild turkeys, not domestic.

    The difference between domestic turkeys and wild turkeys in terms of brains is a bit like the difference between chihuahuas and gray wolves, except chihuahuas are even dumber than and not nearly as useful as domestic turkeys.
