| 0:00.0 | Hey, well, welcome to Downs and O's history here. I've got a proper legend on the podcast. |
| 0:03.2 | I think Greg Jenner, he is known to everybody. He's a great TV guy. He makes his historical advice, |
| 0:09.2 | the horrible histories. He is a podcast legend. He's got it all going on and he's a wonderful |
| 0:14.5 | public historian, very active on social media. He likes to hunt down the fake history. |
| 0:19.1 | He likes to provide context, likes to get involved. In fact, I don't think he ever sleeps. |
| 0:23.1 | He tweets so much, so regularly, around the clock. It's a bit suspicious. He may have developed an |
| 0:28.0 | AI tweet, but I should ask him in this long interview that I conducted. You always think of |
| 0:32.2 | things you should have said. The French call that limo, discalier, words on the stairs, |

| 1:11.2 | for all the family. He's just a great guy. Lovely guy. So great talking to him about history. |
| 1:16.0 | You talked about some myths. We talked about some misconceptions. We talked about some of the |
| 1:19.5 | things he's found out for this book. So enjoy. If you wish to go and buy some Christmas stuff, |
| 1:24.7 | you can do so history hit.com slash shop. We've got the famous historical hoodies back. We have |
| 1:30.1 | got the NISTED HONED Helmet Headwear. No Vikings wore horned helmets. We know that, but this is an |
| 1:34.9 | amusing knitted helmet with horns on it. I'm not saying the same thing to the Vikings. That's you |
| 1:38.7 | saying that, but I'm just saying that's what we sell. It's fine. It's a homage to Wagner's set |
