In this week's episode we learn about errors and oversimplifications which may have been made by your school teachers - from Guy Fawkes to Christopher Columbus, and also we learn that Greg can't say a very simple word!

The Condensed History Gems podcast is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Greg Chapman, juggler and comedy entertainer from Condensed Histories (@condensedhist) and Jem Duducu, history writer of HistoryGems (@historygems).

Each week we have a half hour discussion episode, as well as a shorter ‘Fast 5’ episode featuring one of the two. Subjects range through history, from pirates to Saxons, Vikings to Victorians, and Romans to the Cold War!
