Listen "57. "God Save the Queen.""
Episode Synopsis
Butch and Jessica discuss the implications of the loss of Queen Elizabeth II -- one of the longest reigning monarchs in world history, and the longest in British history. They talk about what the UK means to the world, what the monarchy means to the UK, and what Queen Elizabeth has meant to the monarchy, and to the West.
Butch refers to an article on the latter topic: "The Queen of the West," by Ayaan Hirsi Ali:

Another tidbit: there were indeed only FIVE total times that the Queen gave a live televised address to the Nation:
