Welcome to the British History Podcast.

My name is Jamie and this is episode 164, Shadow Governments.

This show is free and independent due to member support.

And as thanks for helping keep the community going, I offer members only content such

as extra episodes and rough transcripts.

And right now over on the members' feet, we've got the fourth episode of the Fury of

If you'd like to support the podcast and hear that episode as well as all the others,

you can sign up over at theBritishHistoryPodcast.com.

already.
