    Ep 298 - The Wild Adventures of Sir Walter Raleigh Jun 20, 2026
    Show notes

    Ep 298 is loose! And we have tales from the life, times and death of that great adventurer and self-promoter, Sir Walter Raleigh.

    What did old Walt REALLY do? What did he do to end up in the Tower? And should you ever take maps from a wizard?

    The secret ingredient is...tobacco!

    Thank you for your patience on this episode while Sinead recovered - we had a very giddy time recording as a result, so it's worth the wait, we think!
