Hello @RTElyricfm @dineensparish needs his own show. Always tune in when he covers mystery train or blue of the night. Love his music choices. ❤️

What a fantastic conversation I just had with @olliewcq about the #ElginMarbles (and the rest of the #ParthenonSculptures, of course)! We could have gone on for another couple of hours for sure, proof that you don't have to be on the same side of a debate to enjoy it. Actually, I…
This was a fun interview, thanks, @olliewcq - discussing my 2017 book To Catch A King, which recounts the 6 week escape story of Charles II in 1651. It at least explains why England has so many pubs called The Royal Oak….
I had a great chat with @cspencer1508 on the escape of Charles II from the clutches of Parliamentarian forces, his reign and the impact of the civil war on him. Merry monarch or was there something more to him? Link here or Apple etc etc. open.spotify.com/episode/3OVysF…
My chat with @ProfGSheffield as well as watching #AllQuietOnTheWesternFront when home alone last Friday (volume turned up to 11) led me to write this piece which includes the unusual tale of my great uncle: The Great War: Was it a Waste? aspectsofhistory.com/the-great-war-…
