In which we sit down with Lloyd from Lindybeige on Hadrian's wall and discuss Roman archaeological sites, agriculture, fourth-generation warfare, and more.  A very eclectic episode, not unlike Lloyd's channel itself.  A big thank you to Lloyd for meeting up with us!  Apologies for the poor audio quality, including but not limited to sheep baa-ing in the background, as well as the fact that video was not recovered for the full interview.  It's also worth noting that this podcast was actually recorded in May of 2019.  If you've never checked out Lindybeige, do yourself a favor and check it out now: https://www.youtube.com/user/lindybeige/featured

In which we start by talking about beef jerky and end up talking about alternative medicine.  What combines both?  Something like the tension between general patterns of knowledge and particular experience.  Apologies for any small errors in the audio.
