For a special run of episodes, Dan Jones is joined by world-class historians and authors. Find out about the sordid history of the Catholic Church, and the erotic musings of mystics with Diarmaid MacCulloch. Hear about the bloody Plantagenet rivalry to end all others with Dan’s old University supervisor, Helen Castor. Plus, in our first ever live show: what kind of man was Goeffrey Chaucer, and what on earth is he wearing?
