    I have heard that a few episodes of this last season of “Vikings” take place during Euphemius’ rebellion. Do you know if they are worth waching?

    • They have been recommended to me. But it depends if you are into ‘Vikings’ the show. I struggled to get into it in Season 1 but I saw clips of the Sicily plot and it looked interesting.

    I’m binge-listening to your awesome podcast in Poland in 2019, and having heard the intro exactly one thousand times, I have to ask: Robin, are you a UK national living in Poland? 🙂 Spoiler from the future: three years later and the UK is still “preparing” to leave 🙂
