This week our intrepid trio are off down their various rabbit holes as they chase the provenance of historical objects both real and metaphorical. Richard is in search of the origin stories of condiments, whilst Cat digs into the Viking Army’s arrival in Wiltshire. And as for Charles, he’s hunting the great one eyed warriors of history. But as usual, they’re all over the map as one fact leads to another anecdote and before you know it, they’re in a whole different realm.  Don’t forget, you can send us an email at [email protected] and please do leave us a review as it helps others to find us when they’re searching for something to listen to.  Learn more about your ad choices.
