Episode 8: One Maria of Many

NEW AUDIO. I'm going through and (slowly) re-recording the first several episodes, permanently dumping the robotic voice. Please give me another try!

In this episode, we discuss the reign over Austria of Maria Theresa, the only woman to rule the Habsburg Monarchy. We'll learn why she named all her daughters Maria, how she felt about religion and politics, and some of the permanent changes with which she left Austria.
