We liked @theDuncanMackay on the @historyextra pod so much the first time he talked about Boudica that we invited him back for more Roman rebel chat. You'd be mad not to listen in

[Duncan Mackay @theDuncanMackay]

You might have heard of the suffragettes Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison, but have you heard of Edith Rigby? You can discover more history like this in our new HistoryExtra podcast series: Deeds not Words.

[DJ Musgrove @DJMusgrove]

We didn't make much of a fuss about it because other history stuff was going on , but @historyextra dropped its 2000th and 2001st episodes yesterday. That's a lot of history podcasting.

Things were going great and we were really getting into Season 3.

That is until we watched this scene unfold before our eyes ....

When a Friday morning at work involves sitting down to hear from brilliant storytellers like @theDuncanMackay, I sometimes feel like I’m cheating at the whole ‘job’ thing. Lovely to chat!

[Duncan Mackay @theDuncanMackay]
