Hello and welcome listeners to the Europeans. Thank you for downloading our latest episode.

This week we're going to be talking about megaliths.

Can I get an appropriate sound effect for that robust sounding word, Katie?

I have literally no idea what that's supposed to sound like.

A megalith is a big rock.

Should I make a big rock sound?

Yeah, like a big rock falling to the ground.

Okay, here you go. Not that we're suggesting

the megaliths arrived on this earth by flying from the sky. But we're going to find out exactly why

or how megaliths started emerging around in Europe during the Neolithic era.

And I felt like this interview is going to be a nice antidote to all the madness that's been going on this week

regarding the B word in the British Parliament.

In fact, my dad said to me this week, surely you've got to talk about Brexit this week.

And I said, no, this is the week more than ever

that we should be talking about the other things that are happening in Europe, because people

are getting more than enough of their Brexit, Phil. Although, maybe we're about to say the same thing,

but it turns out that quite a lot of my colleagues and the people I meet in the Netherlands really

have no idea what's going on. I was getting high-fived by various colleagues during a show when they checked their phone

in the interval and seen that there was a breaking news alert saying that no deal had been

ruled out and people were like, it means Brexit's off.

No.

No, that's not what it means.
