Condensed Histories


2 - Legends as History (Or why we class King Arthur with Harry Potter).

November 17, 2015

Condensed Histories' Greg Chapman and HistoryGems' Jem Duducu join forces in this new podcast, unimaginatively named 'Condensed Histories Gems'.

In this episode the boys talk about historical legends and why we should be careful with them. King Arthur, Robin Hood and Boudicca all come under scrutiny, and Greg uses it as an excuse to shoehorn in a story about Houdini.

In this week's round of 'What if', where Greg answers a question about what would happen if a crucial moment in history had gone different, Greg manages to go completely off topic as Greg tries to come to terms with the fact he has been pronouncing Jem's name wrong ever since they met.
