Description

Somewhere between Dan Carlin and George Carlin, professional comedian and history enthusiast Damian Smith regales with his favourite anecdotes from throughout the annals of time. These stories are fun, exciting, compelling, and quite often actually happened - for as Leo Ferre once said: ”you must believe in ancient history, even if it is not true.” Guaranteed at least 90% truth.
