  • Summary

  • Join Isadora (a Brit with a degree in History) as she helps to educate two American guys on a little about the history of the house they have all just moved into, and therefor England as a whole. It a really old house! Together they investigate some of the skills passed down for generations, explores some of the weirdest bits of British life and talk science, crime, death and murder. Semi-educational, and semi-frustrating as Isadora tries to keep them on track, the segways sometimes prove how ignorant they all are, and how you can always learn something you never knew before. So far they have talked about the geology of the British Isles, Neolithic Man, the Stone Age, and Stonehenge.

    Black Roman History
    Jun 2 2020

    I generally only realise how uneducated I am about something when I start to learn about it. In this episode we look at People of Color (and primarily those who are Black), and their earliest relationship with Britain. A relationship that included the power of an emperor, the skills of African warriors, and the way that modern science is helping bring these earliest inhabitants to life.
