Hello, distant podders. Welcome along to this week's episode. As you can tell from the audio

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

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
