Welcome to the British History Podcast.

My name is Jamie and this is Episode 374.

Be careful what you wish for.

And it's been a while since we've talked about the members' feet.

And lately, Dr. Zayn and I have been working on a new series that just launched, and

it's all about the early life of William the Conqueror.

So if you're curious about how a tiny little baby with, I assume, adorable little toes

and big round cheeks that you just want to smush, ended up turning into the vicious,

mass-murdering colonizer you've all been clamoring for, well, the BHP has got you covered.

And to be honest, while I'm not a fan of this guy, knowing where he came from and the

environment that molded him, helps make some sense of some of the things that are just

around the corner in our main story.

And the first episode on this mini series is now live on the members' feet.

So if that sounds fun to you, you can get instant access to that episode and all the other members

extras by signing up for membership at the British History Podcast dot com for about the price

of a latte per month.

And thank you very much to David and his father James for signing up for membership and for

making the show a part of your Father's Day celebration.

Happy Father's Day.

And happy Father's Day to all the dads who are listening.

Alright, this has been an absolutely crazy year.

By which I mean, 1055 had been an absolutely crazy year.
