I have loved this podcast and I would recommend Dominic’s book Adventures in Time: Fury of the Vikings and Alexander the Great and I hope for a series about more ancient topics and I know battles aren’t your favourite but more of those would be great. A brilliant podcast and Tom and Dominic have great chemistry!🤺V good chat but recently topics getting worse and I think that a series about Magellan’s expedition
