Summary

0:00.0	The History of the World Podcast, written and presented by Chris Hasler.
0:17.0	Welcome to the History of the World Podcast magazine. Oh, you know. Welcome to the History of the World Podcast everybody. This week it's a magazine episode ahead of our episode on the history of Thailand, which is going to be an epic,
0:59.0	which I believe we should be able to bring to you next week so look forward to that the
1:06.4	history of Thailand and very very interesting history for that country and many characters and a lot of influence from
1:18.0	different peoples and different cultures different nations and so it's a fascinating story I hope you'll enjoy it
1:26.2	when it does come. Anyway this is that time of year isn't it it's the end of
1:31.7	June normally means two things for the
1:35.0	history of the world podcast. Firstly it means that I'm going to the Chalk Valley
1:39.3	History Festival and that will be that's taking place all week by the way so even though I'm only going to be
1:48.4	there on Thursday and Friday the festival itself takes place over the course of the whole week right through to next Sunday.
1:57.0	But I'm not there in any official capacity, I'm just a visitor like everyone else and I normally go down every year.
2:05.0	If you, if you're in the area, it's in Wiltshire quite near the city of Salisbury.

2:18.1	It really is a very pleasant location.
2:21.3	It's somewhere where you can relax, enjoy some history.
2:25.0	There's plenty to eat, a lot of market stalls where you can sort of buy stuff and
2:31.0	certainly you can have a beer there as well and plenty going on there's
2:38.1	plenty going on all the time so whatever your interest in history is there's always something going on that should interest you so if you're in the area
2:47.8	I definitely recommend going down there. There's also a bookshop down there. There's a Waterstone's bookshop tent down there so you can maybe
2:56.4	go home with a couple of new books. And then there's specific talks like last year I went and I listened in on a study on the
3:08.3	Mongol hordes so that was very good and then I ended up buying a book because I knew at some point and
3:16.7	it will be later this year I'll be presenting episodes on the Mongol invasion so I strongly recommend the Chalk Valley History Festival and
