Bonus Patreon episode: the Munroes! With Barr Foxx! Jan 06, 2023

David Munroe, American photojournalist, married N'Dare, an African princess.

Exhausted by American racism, they moved to Cairo, where, well, a plane crashed into their house, killing them. Chris Claremont started this story, and other writers have added to the story in unexpected places. Hear Chad delve deep with the wonderful Barr Foxx in a very special episode.
