This special presentation of The Social Contract is an especially sweet treat for all you budding history buffs out there: a Bastille Day special!

I cannot think of a better occasion than this French-themed podcast special to celebrate the legendary warrior, Joan of Arc.

It was during the Middle Ages, when France and England were locked in the Hundred Years War, that Joan -- just a teenager -- came to prominence for her role in the Siege of Orléans.

To this day she is known as “The Maid of Orléans,” recognized as a principled defender and great savior of the French people.

Saint Joan of Arc is the patron saint of France…and of New Orleans!

Which brings us to the final installment of The New Orleans Trilogy, called The Missing Maid of Orléans.

In this adventure The Artist Cleo summons Georgie and GiGi (along with Sister Elaine and Grandmother Marie, of course) to New Orleans to help her solve the case of the missing Joan of Arc statue -- adorably nicknamed “Joanie on the Pony.”

Published on the new Gistikidz imprint, The Missing Maid of Orléans is another incredibly imaginative adventure (thanks to author George S. Corey) that is stunningly illustrated (thanks to Cleo). And like the other titles in the series, it is a hybrid storybook/artbook that was created especially for kiddos.

It’s The Artist Cleo’s birthday, and we wanted to throw a little podcast party to honor our beloved artist-in-residence and fan favorite, the one and only Cleo!

As she embarks on her next journey around the sun, there is so much to celebrate!

We’re back with our first holiday special—and so are Georgie and GiGi with an all-new adventure, and this one may just be the best one yet!

Get comfy, snuggle up in something cozy, maybe even enjoy a cup of hot coco with marshmallows—or candy cane—because The Social Contract Holiday Special, “A Very Cleo Christmas,” starts now.
