@EmpirePodUK @DalrympleWill @tweeter_anita just finished listening to the wonderful Shattered Lands book by @SamDalrymple123 . So many things I'd no idea about. The whole 1971 war and how Bangladesh was formed was fascinating 🤯. Superb🙌

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

@NancyRomm Totally agree....I've never really got my head around the Mary QoS story before...as always the @TheRestHistory guys lay it out so well and make it clear and really interesting @holland_tom

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

@tweeter_anita @DalrympleWill @EmpirePodUK Also....I'd never heard the story about Fr Reid having the Adam's letter in his pocket. 😳

It's been non stop @tweeter_anita over the last few days with The Patient Assassin audiobook👌. Such a great book and Anita should read EVERY audiobook.....taking a break for commute listen to get back to her and @DalrympleWill on @EmpirePodUK . Loving the Irish series.

@tweeter_anita @DalrympleWill @EmpirePodUK Just finished most recent @EmpirePodUK and being an 80s kid in Belfast , history starting to feel literally close to home. Those 2 weeks in 1988 were when I realised NI was different. There could be a whole podcast series just on those 14 days alone.

@StagecoachEScot is there something wrong with your app?

I can get it to show any x56 journeys tomorrow

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

@Con_Tomlinson How is that your conclusions ?

Is says in report that "sitting pres can't be prosecuted" , so why continue with the cases??

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

@Beathhigh Was a great programme all about the history of it a few years ago....think BBC.

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

Been loving the latest @EmpirePodUK series on Jacobites. Being from Belfast its interesting how much this period of history is taught differently in various parts of UK. Our focus was all around Battle of Boyne and always called William of Orange ..not W 3rd🤣 @tweeter_anita

@EmpirePodUK @tweeter_anita @DalrympleWill loved the latest episode about Scottish disaster in Panama. Knew nothing about it....

...did WD get his "hearts" mixed up when mentioning Sweet Heart Abbey at end? ♥️⛪

@youngvulgarian I'll see your horrible babies and raise you some horrific nativity scene figurines from Linz museum.😲

@sturdyAlex Just listening... Do you say "first woman in Pakistan running for election"? 🫤

Really chuffed when Potemkin got a mention at the COVID inquiry and I knew what they meant. 😊

Thanks @EmpirePodUK @tweeter_anita @DalrympleWill @simonmontefiore 🙌

@StagecoachEScot why are buses going over new Queensferry crossing and not FRB?

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

@DalrympleWill @EmpirePodUK @tweeter_anita Thanks .... Been loving all the pods. Looking forward to the rest of this Russian series.🙌

[Neil McQuillan @mrneilmcq]

@EmpirePodUK @DalrympleWill @tweeter_anita loving the Tolstoy pod. Knew little about him apart from "big books".... what was the title of his "best short story" discussed by William and Rosamund? I've listened to that bit a few times and can't catch the title. Thanks

@TheNewsAgents @lewis_goodall Are these people real or is this some sort of LARP /cosplay/comedy sketch thing??
