The Voynich Manuscript Episode: Part 3: John Dee and Eastern Europe
Well, I think I did a good job on this one, got a good clean edit, got the sidechain compression down. Not doing so badly at this tbh. :)Anyway, in this episode we discuss relatively comprehensively, John Dee's beliefs, his ideological-imperial project, his scrying, his humanism and cosmopolitanism, and his secret operations for the court of Elizabeth I in Eastern Europe.
