  • Aspiring to fail as a Templar knight

    From one who romanticizes the crusades to the fullest. Saying that you did not fail to highlight its failures (dramatic pause) would be an understatement. Thanks Sharyn

    I can’t stop listening to this. It’s replaced my music playlists. I just go back over it to catch parts I missed before. Just the right amount of humor, but not enough to steal from the seriousness of the subject, which btw is very balanced. I was worried at first this would be one sided, but it was fair and respectful.
