Excellent

Brilliantly researched and investigated. Out of all the Crabb theories and stories, this is ( if you’ll excuse the pun) head and shoulders above the rest. Giles Milton’s books are all gripping and informative and this podcast is no exception to his writings.
Have a listen, I guarantee you’ll be hooked and probably binge it!
