In this episode Gala Morris of the University of Glasgow chats with Jimmy about mint tea, environmentalism and heritage, sexy Etruscans, and the Roman siege of Veii! If you like an in-depth conversation about history, its influence on modern day culture and politics, plants, or just two people with fun accents, this is the episode for you!

A Norman called William, but not that one! This episode looks at the Duchy of Apulia and Calabria, the Princes of Salerno, Sicily, the Pope, the Normans, and the psychology of dead people yet again (and I haven't even got Michael Molcher to rein me in this time!). 

The book this time is "The Ingoldsby Legends" by Thomas Ingoldsby (AKA R. H. Barham), and the tea du jour is Clipper's English Breakfast in bags.
