History for You with Douglas and Hugh

Marco Polo and the Silk Road


Listen Later

Imagine a journey across most of the known world, where wondrous things can be bought and sold. And we're not talking about Sunday's jumble sale in the village hall.


Yes, Douglas and Hugh are off on another travelling adventure, this time exploring the Silk Road, and diving into the life and times of Marco Polo, who may or may not have made everything up while staying at home on the sofa eating crisps.


Join us as we trade in silks, spices, religion and just about anything your heart desires - even horrific diseases if that's your thing. And you can also find out exactly how Hugh would prefer Douglas to terminate him, should the time come.
