Listener Request: Robin Hood

History for You with Douglas and Hugh

We kick off 2024 with an episode suggested by one of our keen fans. We do that, by the way. So if you want to hear our take on a historical person or event that tickles your fancy, drop us a line either in the comments where you get your podcasts or via our social channels listed below.

Anyway, this episode is about England's most famous outlaw, Robin Hood - and things get pretty testy between Douglas and Hugh over whether or not he ever existed and, therefore, if this even constitutes a historical topic. This is what happens when you put this sort of thing open to the public, see? But in the spirit of democracy, we shall continue. Join us as we ride through Sherwood Forest and fire the arrow of truth into the oak tree of myth.
