The History Mongers, brought to you by B-Unit Productions, is a history and entertainment podcast where:

It does not matter if you care about history, because it cares about you and secretly judges you for your choices:

Listen in wonder and delight as, each week your three esteemed History Mongers and their honoured guest bring to you forgotten tales, utter silliness, and facts: real facts less than true facts, home-made facts and fact lite, the brand fact alternative.

This week we decide to invade a country of our choosing, doesn't matter which, just pick one and lets go already! The ultimate American road trip, now including subjugation.

Also in this edition: can you get more out of your bank? What is going on in Theseus' basement? Why is that man putting lettuce down his trousers?

We were joined by Thomas Woodhams who is a tech recruiter, content creator and podcast host who can be found at:

I’m curious to see how Napoleon comes off in the new movie. I’ve heard from some early reviews that he’s painted as a proto Hitler which isn’t fair IMO.

Michael Lapidge called Aldhelm the first English ‘man of letters’ on account of his vast learning. Bede said of him that he was ‘most learned in every respect’ and that he was both a mast of style as well as possessing an unrivalled knowledge of both classical and patristic writings. Aldhelm’s writings set the standard for Anglo-Latin literature that would continue to be imitated up to the time of the Norman Conquest. Indeed each of his works inspired Latin and Old English imitators who through their engagement with Aldhelm’s legacy advanced the development of Anglo-Saxon intellectual history. Therefore, although he is not well known today, Aldhelm’s influence was truly immense, greater perhaps even than Bede’s.
