Episode 18: Moldova
In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. We will be drawing each new country out of a hat and taking turns researching them. Episode 18 covers Moldova and their national anthem, Limba Noastra.
For the eighteenth episode, Aaron teaches us about Moldova, the least visited country in Europe despite an incredible museum that we will talk about in the show. Follow along as we learn the definition of suzerainty and discover the nation that gave the world one of its very first memes.
