Hello there, fellow time travellers. I love you all.

It's great to have you with me as we travel through time and space together.

Sometimes I think we might end up all having to live on an island together.

It's still a bit of practice getting along well.

History is a fascinating mind of knowledge.

It's all ready to be unearthed, looked at again, analyzed, interpreted,

however imperfectly. So whilst we can't tell what the future holds, we can look back to the past

in an effort to learn lessons. Sometimes we get it right, sometimes we get it wrong. Most of the time it's in the grey

zone in between. But that endeavour is part of hope for help with coping with the present.

And God knows we need it now. And for good or ill, imperfect as it is, that's what this series

of podcast is all about. So to help support them, to help support the

series, and also at the same time to get access to exclusive content every week, sign up to my

Patreon.com site. Simple, go to patreon.com, search for me by name, go through the drill, part

with some cash, you can pay monthly or you can pay annually and it's

cheaper if you go for the whole year all at once.

But either way, I'd love to see you there and you become just part of the wider family

contemplating all of this stuff.

Another way we're supported is via our sponsor, that's gold bullion partners.

That's a team that will sell you real metal, real gold,

real silver. If you're thinking about investing in those, then I would say, I happily say that

gold, bullion partners are the very folk to talk to. They say buying gold and silver is about

wealth, preservation, safety and control
