Michael and Ethan begin discussing Glorious Exploits, by Ferdia Lennon, while drinking The Midnight Silkie (Michael) and Red Locks (Ethan) Irish whiskeys.

In this episode:

Don’t worry about why Karen reading the rules happens so suddenly

This book is The Producers, the Great Escape, AND the Gift of the Magi

Sometimes the real story is the anachronisms we met along the way

“Version” is fine

Obligatory Shakespeare digression

Technically not a history podcast

King Offa’s Arabic coin

Euripedes’ Deus is not quite as ex machina as you might expect

Michael and Ethan: rabbit holes all the way down
