The Richard the Lionheart arc is goin to be epic given the guests lineup. Having Gillingham for a first podcast appearance is huge, like catching someone before they become legend status. The Julius Caesar comparison angle with Alex Petkas sounds fascinating too since Richard's battlefield tactics often get overshadowed by the crusade mythology. I dunno, the whole project's trajectory from deep dives on the ERE to branching into material culture with the playing cards shows a seriousness of intent. Most medieval podcasters stay in their lane, but you're building an entire ecosystem here which is rare.
Yes, thank you. I am indeed trying to build out something big.. with everyone's help and support! I do think the Richard series will be solid.. thinking of a way to make a giga-documentary type end product out of it... we'll see.
An insane year, a lot of fun and great listens! Such expansion and growth only shown by the Normans! I'm hoping 2026 shapes up to be an even better year for you and yours and that maybe I can see a fraction of your growth haha!
Very funny. I don't really think of it because I always see myself recording the episodes etc but I guess there is a lot of people who only ever hear me 😂
Good luck in the New Year, and congrats on getting a sponsor!
Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you RR! The trick is just to find your voice and be consistent! DM if you have any questions
It's always interesting to see a face of the voice I've been listening to. I would have never matched you two 😀
