| 0:00.0 | Hello, distant podders. Welcome along to this week's episode. As you can tell from the audio |
| 0:06.4 | quality, I am not recording this one in the usual way. We thought we'd recorded an intro to this one, |
| 0:13.5 | but clearly we forgot, or we got distracted, or we just chatted away with the guests for this |
| 0:19.3 | week for a little bit longer after we stopped recording and then probably forgot to the link. |
| 0:25.2 | I think that's what happened. I don't think we didn't record it. I'm pretty sure we've just |
| 0:29.1 | forgot to do it. Hey, here I am doing it anyway. The reason why it sounds like it sounds |
| 0:33.8 | is because we are not in a recording phase at the moment. We thought we'd give ourselves a few |
| 0:38.4 | weeks off, so I think Mike mentioned it in one of the pods last week or a week before, |

| 1:11.2 | getting Alice sitting side of pool with a book about Gladstone and the wig party. Something like that, |
| 1:18.8 | I presume, and I am locked away in a room doing some work, which is pretty much what's happening. |
| 1:24.6 | Or we're all at home and taking some time off is a little bit futile. Whichever way around it |
| 1:30.9 | is, it's all good. This week's is a guest episode and the guest is the historian Greg Jenner, |
| 1:37.2 | author, broadcaster, writer on horrible histories, TV show, which you may well have enjoyed with |
| 1:44.4 | your kids if they're of that age, although I think it works as TV show regardless whether you're |
| 1:48.2 | a kid or not. You might well know him from the go dead to me podcast or maybe you've bought |
| 1:54.2 | one of his book's dead famous is absolutely brilliant as a book. Ask a historian. He's fantastic |
