Hello there, fellow time travellers, dearly beloved, great to have you with me as we travel through time and space together, trying to understand the past, the present and the future. What an ambition.

We can't tell what the future holds for us, but we can, what we can do is look back.

We can look back into history. In pursuit of lessons, wisdom, anything that might help us cope with the present.

God knows we need help to cope with the present.

And from that point, you can maybe look ahead a bit and maybe try and plot a course into the future.

And that's what this podcast series is all about.

And I'd love to see you there. 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 and not speculation. Okay, that's it for the advert. Time now to

strap into the time machine as we set off towards the next stop in my love letter

to the world recorder microphone action revolution is a food and feelings are running hot in Paris.

Food shortages, inflation, rising taxes and rent hikes are stoking the flames.

Fighting for fairness and equality, demanding the abolition of feudalism and to make all equal before the law. It's all in play, but the mob is

marching alongside and before too long, terror sweeps the country. A moment in history that comes

to define the politics of revolution the world over. Hi Neil.
