My brain is like Swiss cheese....is about the most insightful thing Episode 179 offers you but I try and get to grips with Joan of Arc, from a mention in a Celtic Frost lyric all the way to a whole verse in The Smiths 'Bigmouth strikes again', where the title of todays podcast came from all the way to.....well being one of the most iconic figures in modern history. Her story is one of conquering adversity, kicking the patriarchy squarely in the balls, crowing a King, lifting a siege, inspiring a divided medieval nation with her religious devotion, dressing as she god damn pleased and ultimately dying a young grim and sexy death perfect for horror film adaptation!
