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!
