I have listened to the episode on Rogue Heroes and I was rather disappointed tbh.
Could you not invite Hamish Ross, Gavin Mortimer or Ben Macintyre on to discuss the-real Blair? Or even better more than one of them?
Thanks @jamesholland.com

bringing back another Discworld quote tonight, for reasons

โ€œโ€˜We put all our politicians in prison as soon as theyโ€™re elected. Donโ€™t you?โ€™

โ€˜Why?โ€™

โ€˜It saves timeโ€™โ€

Just caught up on the stream of the British Library event last week. I just wanted to thank you both. I was lucky enough to discover Terry 30+ years ago and Neil not long after with Good Omens.
I now get to share all this with my boys!
Thanks

Royal Anglian Regiment Remembrance 2023
It is time to remember those we have lost in battle at home and overseas. At this time of remembrance, we hear from a Royal Anglian Regiment veteran who talk... Royal Anglian Regiment Remembrance 2023

This is why I remember.
Many of the freedoms I enjoy today, I can enjoy because others have fought for those freedoms and not all returned home.
I will remember them.

Just finished John C McManusโ€™s excellent Alamo in the Ardennes
Fantastic and gripping
Such a shame that it is overshadowed the way it is.
All credit to the 110th Infantry and the CCR
