In which we discuss old lost things found in the ground, the politics of detectorism, and throw in some spoon chat.

In which we judge a famous philosopher for his post-death instructions and uncover the mischievous tendencies of university students.

In which we discuss an old book, a beautiful little town in England, and a humble young fellow called William Shakespeare

In which a rooster is covered in soot to catch a thief, and hard math is done.
