WARNING: THIS PODCAST CONTAINS TOILET HUMOUR, CRUDE SEXUAL HUMOUR AND ALL MANNER OF THINGS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN, PRUDES OR DELICATE TYPES!

Welcome back, fellow archivists! In this second season, we're diving into cults and sects from history. In this first two-part episode, Jon and Chatto travel back in time to Ancient Egypt during the reign of the 18th dynasty to explore the cult of the Aten, created by the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten. Jon tries to get his marbles together after a bump on the noggin, Chatto reveals his dark side and we learn why you shouldn't go swimming in the Nile. A good time will be had by all except Jon's Mum, who thinks this podcast is absolute puerile filth.
