I use Podbean, and it's not clear whether or how I can access the extras.

Does anyone know if this is possible; and if not, what alternate free podcasting app would you recommend?

There’s my annual membership paid for yet again! Can NOT wait get to the in depth follow up on this … mad tale! Memberships matters!! ❤️

Jamie. I'm terrified!!!!!!!

Every time we have these "What's going on around the world at this time?" episodes, I get overly and overly excited as Jamie proceeds going East and reaching the Americas. But yet again, only the lands north of Mexico are covered! So my heart was broken once again as the Andean cultures were not mentioned. :'-(

I know, I know, this is not my podcast. And maybe South America is not that relevant to British history. But still, I would invite you to read about it. And yes, I cannot help myself, so without any invitation to do so, I will tell you a bit, without being a historian or anything close to it. I am sorry.

In South America the Caral-Supe civilization, contemporary with the Egyptians, is considered as one of the "cradles of civilization". Big important cultures after these were the Chavin, Paracas, Nazca (I know you've seen those lines), and Mochica. And, the real reason of my heartbreak, is that by the year 1100 the Wari Empire, which lasted longer than the Incas and had conquered about half all of current Peru, had declined. The Waris developed what most people know as the Inca Trails, which were not trails but a vast network of roads.

Anyway. Sorry once again for the rant, but I needed to get this off my chest. Hope this was interesting for you!

This guys is just a content creator who goes around the UK to check out and play organs in churches and the like. He also sometimes pops in some history.

My algorithm sent this to me. Enjoy!

I probably don't have the greatest grasp on the politics of early Feudalism. As far as I understand it, Normandy at this time was essentially a mostly autonomous region in the Kingdom of France (like Anjou, Brittany etc.). So if the King of France goes to war with Flanders, he rings up the Duke of Normandy and asks for soldiers. So in this case, why would it not work the other way?

Or was it more like the Duke of Normandy was basically equal in power (if not more powerful) to the French Kingdom's Crown lands. So the Kingdom of France and Duchy of Normandy were essentially just loosely allied realms and the King vs. Duke thing was more or less a formality? Still, if you were King Philip I, you would think you would rather have the Normans as a land border compared to England. Maybe this is just me thinking about it with a modern lens. At the end of the day, all of the nobility were varying degrees of French anyways.

Right off the bat I just wanna say this isn’t a hero worship, I agree with Jamie’s message at times that there really are no heroes here.

But if someone asked me who my favorite “character” in history is…. My answer has to be Hereward the Wake.

Someone whom I’d never heard of before and had no awareness of his legendary status.

His character arc in the show just pulls me in, Every. Single. Time.

u/BritishPodcast Although using the Mandolorian theme at the end of The Uprising was cheating a bit.
