I'm so scrupulous in my choice of guests to talk to that I never have any doubts about how much it will mean to you.

But again, I can say you'll love my next guest.

I can confidently guarantee it.

I've only recently got to know them directly.

I've been aware of them for a long time, but we've only

recently started corresponding, let's say. And I found immediately he just, I knew him right away

as someone who was thinking the same way that I was about everything that's happening at the moment.

But before we get into it, can I just remind you how to support the podcast?

Go to patreon.com.

If you have the means and the inclination and I hope you do, find me, Neil Oliver,

and part with a bit of cash and it helps to keep this whole endeavour going.

It's about the price of a cup of coffee, but you get exclusive access

to everything that we do here. There's a whole mix of history and politics and current affairs

and ghost stories and esoterica. It's all there and a question and answer session every week,

which is a bit like a conversation in real time. It's also a community of lovely folk

who like to share ideas. The links in the notes below the time. It's also a community of lovely folk who like to share ideas.

The links in the notes below the video. It's on my website, neeloliver.com. I would love to see you there.

Another way we were supported is via our sponsor, that's gold bullion partners. That's a team that will sell you real metal, real gold, real silver.
