After initiating the Culture Quest Essentials Guide (episode 23), our humble adventurers take the time to weigh and evaluate every step of the quest - how many subjects we’ve discussed will be inducted to the CQEG? 

Episode Breakdown:

• We start the episode by introducing the Guide - what it is for and how everything will work.
• Then, we vote:
