Welcome back!
Good to hear you are back and recovering well. Enjoyed this podcast.
Your podcast has transformed my life! It is a truly spectacular account of European history and has been a great way for me to put everything in context and I hope to use that context to begin learning all I can about why Europe today is the way it is.
Could you write something about yourself? I and everyone else I’m sure would love to know more about the man behind the podcast!
Many thanks John. If I may I’ll quote your comment in the next regular episode and say a couple of words about myself. Thanks, Carl
yes! that would be great, I look forward to learning more about the enigmatic historian himself!
