2: Episode 2: Cuban Missile Crisis, The Meal Tub Plot and the Peace of Westphalia - with Simon Harkness

Update: 2016-10-28

Description

In this episode we discuss the world being on the brink of nuclear disaster, treasonous plots being hidden in tubs of grain in 17th Century London and the end of the Thirty Years War. Other topics include the inconsistent clothing choices of the characters of Winnie the Pooh; what would happen if Theresa May made sweet love to James Bond and of course, some borderline offensive accents... Enjoy.

Warning: contains strong language, ill-researched opinions and unjustified attacks on much-loved fictional bears.
