National Treasures with Laura Lexx and Will Duggan

This week Laura tells Will all about 1299 - a year full of tiny details including a prissy nun who is just way too perfect, a detour through what not to get stuck in a mangle and then finishing up with a small start to a massive historical deal.

For our final (ever?!) deep dive, Laura tells Ron all about the Great Flood of 1953 that they learned about on their trip to Canvey Island. They try to explain the details of the storm and hear some stories from eye witnesses about what it was like to live through. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yes, we know: there hasn't been an interview. The file is lost somewhere in the ether of Will's internet but that won't stop us from prattling on for further time about the wonders of the Escape/Piña Colada song for 45 minutes. In a fun, giggly, lovely little chitter chatter the two besties catch up and dissect the Piña Colada song... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Laura and Will have a blissful trip to Canvey Island and then Will spoils it by being selfless/an idiot. This episode features some of the history of Canvey Island, some fish and chips, some cold weather and a few technical issues as Laura and Will get used to the new microphones and how they work.

Due to a planned brilliant thing and an unplanned very irritating thing we are taking a break for a month. That's the headline, listen to the episode if you want more details. We'll see you in March. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
