You and I have come a long way since our very first full length episode on the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn was released first on the History of England Podcast, and then in WDF's feed on 19th May 2012. Here we revisit that chapter of history - exactly 5 years on. I've learned a lot in those five years, and this is essentially an exercise which you may or may not enjoy, where I pretty much take the piss out of my self.
