Hello, dear listeners. Despondent that the Kingmaker Histories isn't currently releasing? Of course you are. But luckily, there's an easy fix for that. During our between-season break, we're going to be sharing a few audio dramas with you that we think you'll really, really love. This week we're sharing Field Trip Sketch Comedy Presents by Field Trip Sketch Comedy!
Field Trip Sketch Comedy Presents: is a fast-paced, silly sketch comedy podcast by Boston-based sketch group Field Trip, featuring original music, immersive sound design, and lots and lots of laughs. Join them on a field trip through genre, philosophy, and much more!

Welcome to the Valorian Socialist Republic, a nation on the edge of reality, where the people are tired, the animals are nightmarish, and the plants get up and walk when you're not looking. The VSR has been undergoing some political changes lately- just 25 years ago their king was overturned in a violent revolution.
Colette Geise wasn't very involved in politics, she was more focused on her career as a seamstress. Unfortunately, she got a magical superweapon fused to her skull, so she's now embroiled in a devious witch's plot to restore the monarchy. Now her only hope is to join up with a pair of eccentric smugglers and embark on a bizarre road trip, scamming and thieving across Belle Epoque-era Europe as she seeks to get rid of her lethal new head-mate.
