We return to Africa for a continuation of The Epic of Mwindo. Join Patrick and Matthew as they take you through the next leg of Mwindo's travels to find his elusive father, Shemwindo. A hilarious game of cat and mouse across the land and, eventually, extending all the way to the underworld.
We've got a percussion standoff, nosey sparrow, lightning nukes, a Dan Carlan impression, and plenty of banana beer to get you through the day. All that, and much, much more, in the next installment of The Epic of Mwindo.

In this bonus episode Patrick sits down with Gabriel Garcia (The Wandering Quill/ The Wandering Scribe), in the Historians Lounge. Patrick had the pleasure of discussing coinage in the early Successor Period and the insight it offers. That juicy time following the premature death of Alexander The Great which left an empire divided.

It has been a bit of wait but Part 2 is finally here! Bellerophon and his horsey-pale, Pegasus, have defeated the Chimera, be it with a lot of help. But their story is not done yet...Obviously. There is much more to cover for our heroes in this tragic tale. We've got a quest dispensing king, aerial artillery, a mass flashing event, and much more as well.
Patrick is joined once again by Emily Bourdon & Madi Gervais from Spill the Mead podcast, and they had an absolute ball.

We're back for the second half of Season 2! Patrick has been able to set aside his extra parental duties (for a little while) to chat with the delightful Jamie Graham, host of the Jammy History podcast.
Join us for a A Little History Podcast first, as we delve into the fantastic world of Norse mythology. Laugh along as we jump into the story of Loki and the Treasures of The Gods. A story of drunken shenanigans, deceit, some unnecessary risk taking, and a competition for some amazing treasures...with a dubious winner (#justicefortheboar).

Join the "Little Cloak & Jam" crew as we talk mythology, bad (and pretty good) CGI, an incredibly forgiving sphinx, and much more. Oh, and the bane of Patrick's (ALH) life...the insufferable character that is, Bek.
