This my re-telling of the story of England. I aim to be honest, and rigorous - but always loving of my country's history. It is a regular, chronological podcast, starting from the end of Roman Britain.

I have been listening to this from the beginning back in 2016. I have finally caught up and during that time I also became a member. So now that I am caught up I am listening to the other shows he has made.
No words just amazing
This is a wonderful podcast, deeply researched, very informative, with a warm and easy presentation. Highly recommend!
This is my favorite historical podcast. It's well researched, the delivery is informative and sneakily funny - the asides catch me every time! I have listened to my favorite parts of English history multiple times now and I hear something new every time. Great job. This is a wonderful podcast.
