Some times I just do not know how in depth to go on certain subjects. Specifically ones that are not directly involving Wales. Like I expect World War 1 will take nearly a year to cover, WW2 likely longer because there is so much cross over but other events I feel like I brush by them.

Better photos of torc & discs/terminals on #Carnyx. Colour difference suggests torc might be gilded, although by no means certain. From colour, I don't think it's solid gold & they didn't plate then. It could also be bronze, but with better preservation. #Archaeology 🏺 #CarnyxCrazy 📷 ITV News

A blast from my past - the Medieval Soldier database takes nearly 300,000 military service records from 1369-1453 and makes them available as a searchable database. An invaluable resource for understanding medieval warfare, society and the English medieval state. Learn more in the link. 🗃️

We built a database of 290,000 English medieval soldiers – here’s what it reveals
We created the database in order to challenge assumptions about the lack of professionalism of everyday soldiers.

Next year is the 10th anniversary of this podcast. I am honestly flabbergasted it has been going this long, I felt like 5 years was about the likely max. With so much going on in my personal life this year I am really hoping to go big on this in May.
