Greetings fellow time travellers, always glad to have you with me again as we journey through space and time together.

Before we get started on today's episode, I need to say I want to say a big thanks to all the people who show their support for the podcast by

subscribing to my Patreon site. It's the money from Patreon that makes the rest of the

podcast possible. The love letters are and always will be free. That is all

driven by the Patreon site. So if you're a member already, a

gargantuan thanks. If you're not and you'd like to become a member, go to patreon.com, search for me by name,

Neil Oliver, sign up and become a monthly or an annual member. It's cheaper if you sign

up for the whole year at once. You get access to weekly question and answer sessions,

which are great fun you ask questions I answer

them vaudcasts podcasts that the works anyway it'd be great to see you there you'd be

joining a family a community of like-minded inquiring questing curious types.

Okay, that's the advert over.

It's now time to strap yourselves into the time machine,

set off on the next stop in my love letter to the world.

Recorder Microphone. Action. my love letter to the world, recorder microphone, action.

The mighty men who roll hold sway in the land of the Slavs and it becomes known as Russia in their honor.

One of the leaders becomes bored of his pagan ways and wants a new path to follow. Emissaries are sent

out to the great religions to gather knowledge and the major faiths are put on show. The

choice made will go on to affect hundreds of millions of

people down through history right up to the present day. Endeavouring to

understand history in hopes of illuminating the future. I'm Neil Oliver and this is my love letter to the world.

Morning, in the last episode a regal king was grabbed by his foot and literally offended. Which moment in history we're heading to this week?
