    Bestiary #20 Wargs and Werewolves. I listened to it twice just for their interpretation of The Epic of Gilgamesh. They were both in rare form with all the cheeky, witty banter. I’ve never heard it described quite like that but I Love it! Looking forward to what you bring to the holiday season! Cheers!

  • Not very good

    Romney marsh episode was not very accurate! the Romney marsh doesn’t only have just over 2000 people live on it, it’s more like 15,000 you didn’t even visit the 3 main towns of Romney marsh Lydd, New Romney, Dymchurch. Thats just a couple of mistakes made but there is so many in the episode.
