Hello History Hit listeners, as you are listening to this right now at this exact second I am

currently on an epic cross-country road trip of England. 600 miles and 1 million years

of history from the first humans through to Stonehenge, Dovercastle, Hastings up to

Ironbridge in the Black Country and to the northeast where I'm visiting a Cold War

bunker in York.

And I want to hear from you.

I want to do more stops, tell me when I should stop. Any local tips or hints that you want

to share or you want to see me report on on my social media channels and Twitter and

Instagram, etc. just send me a message ds.hh at historyhit.com. That's deltacierra.hotel.

at historyhit.com or tweet me at the History Guy. You can keep up with the road trip this

week on Instagram and Twitter at the History Guy on both and then you can hear the whole

thing as a podcast series next week.

Thanks and enjoy this episode.

Hello everybody, welcome to Downsnow's History Hit. I've got an interesting podcast for

any previous imperial power the world's ever known. An arsenal of nuclear warheads directly

controlled by one individual that can end life on earth as we know it. And people in a

few years time will look back and they will wonder how it came to be that supreme executive

power in this country was given to Donald J. Trump.
