Welcome to our FIFTIETH episode!

Tune in to find out all about the singing or rather, sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215. Why does this document matter?

Our guest Chris Riley - of The Historians Magazine - chats to us today.

Today we are delighted to chat to the author Clemmie Bennett about her newly re-launched novel The Apple and The Tree, which features time-travel, where a character falls through time from the lockdown England in 2020 - all the way to the court of a very young Henry VIII.

What would you say to this young and handsome King? What would he say to you?

How would you adapt to life in the 16th century if you're used to TikTok, Nespresso machines and plumbing?

Let's see...

On this episode we talk to historian David Pilling about his latest book on Edward I's long-forgotten conflict with France.

Popular history usually focusses on his wars with Scotland and Wales, and the Anglo-French war goes mostly unnoticed. No more.
