Hello again.

Now, before we get started this week,

I'd like to draw your attention to the work of one of my fellow podcasters,

Chris Steps Andersonons, who hosts the Eastern Border

podcast. Now, Chrisppes is Latvian, and his podcast covers topics primarily in modern times in Russia and the Baltic states.

He did a particularly good episode on Chernobyl a while back so if you're interested in what's been taking place in the Baltic

region outside the medieval era, just search for the Eastern Border Podcast on your favorite

podcatcher.

While we're on the subject of promotions, remember that the History of the Crusades Podcast is powered by Patreon.

If you would like to support the History of the Crusades podcast, you can sign

up to become a patron. For the princely sum of $1 per month, you will receive a bonus episode every fortnight. We are currently running a

series on Joan of Arc and the 100 Years War and are just about at the point

where Joan enters the battle. So exciting.

Thank you so much to everyone who's joined so far.

I'm really enjoying researching and writing in the new episodes and I've got quite a few interesting things

in the pipeline. If you would like to become a patron just go to Crusades pod.com and follow the link. Okay, so last week we saw the Russian

this time from the Danes.
