A podcast for those that love the drama but don't want to burn themselves on the hot tea. It's tea, from history.
"The only history I'm interested in is finely aged gossip"
Alright you lusty freebooters, this week, nestled amongst quick sips from Fiona and Caroline, is a very special guest! Alexia Antoniou spills the (very well researched) tea about Clovis I, the first king of the Franks, AKA Clovis the Petty. We cover the TV you need to be watching, nasty horse girls, and the truth within the spin. Also jugs. Very important jugs.
