We’re exploring a completely new era this week, so buckle up your sword belts, pour yourself a jug of mead and grab that armour! Phil’s guest today is Steve Tibble, author of a brand new book on the dark (and VERY dark) side of the Crusades, which he describes as being like a two hundred year pub fight! Steve is a great storyteller and his book is full of incredible insights into a time few of us know much about. 

Before that Phil reports on the latest news from Montecito. As Harry pursues his own crusade against the British press, Meghan has been talking some more about her mental health problems and - maybe - dropping a few hints that she’d rather Harry move on from his legal battles back in the UK. Phil has always been more sympathetic to the Sussexes than Andrew - and most of our audience it seems. Is it time, he asks, for a bit more of our sympathy to go Meghan’s way?
