I’d love to but I can’t get BBC sounds to work on my smart speakers anymore 😭

gerrymc.bsky.social•47 days ago

Isn't also called the 4 nations war. Most people think it only affect England. Will try to listen to it.

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yeah it has multiple names, often you’ll see it known as the War of the 3 Kingdoms

Looking forward to the new series. I'll be waiting until it's released on Spotify being outside of the UK reluctant to download BBC sounds. I hope I won't be detracting from your ratings??

gregjenner.bsky.social•46 days ago

No it’s fine, we prefer people to use Sounds, obviously, but it’s ok to prefer other platforms

steve-hodge172.bsky.social•47 days ago

Slowly working through these. A fantastic listen

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Thank you!

Congrats on making this period in history so much clearer for those of us who tend to skip over this period because “OMG who are all these people “
Also Captain Carter👍👍

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Glad you enjoyed it

Amazing! I did my undergraduate dissertation on turncoats and traitors in the Civil War!

Greg I love this podcast but I can’t find this series on my podcast feed like usual .. what’s occurring?

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’s only on BBC SOUNDS for the first month, then it goes to other pod platforms - so it’s a delayed release

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Check out the YDTM BBC website for the programme synopsis and production credits, or here are the screen grabs

Maybe you won’t get so many laughs in Ireland about the Civil Wars. Perhaps 2-3 times as many casualties as in England. 20-40% of its population dying from war, disease and famine. I know it’s typically totally ignored with all the Cavalier and Roundhead guff.

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yeah we talk about Ireland for a good chunk, and there’s no jokes there - it’s a horrible moment in history

joeharbison.bsky.social•47 days ago

One other small issue. While listening to the Podcast I looked down at my Apple Watch fitness tracker and saw this. Gave me a bit of a shock but I might get out of doing the groceries.

gregjenner.bsky.social•47 days ago

Oh dear - sorry about that!

jennieeffin.bsky.social•46 days ago

I'm so glad it's back and also that you're here!
