In the first instalment of a new series on the show, we explore the nature of warfare in the 18th century, as we endeavour to understand the origins and impacts of key themes, ideas and trends that straddle the 1750-1820 period.

Guests Andrew Dorman, Alex Burns and Robbie MacNiven help us probe into the myths of conflict during the period.

Amidst the upheavals of the Napoleonic era, European music was undergoing a profound transformation of its own. Today, Christopher Kimbell talks us through key developments in Western art music during the age of Napoleon. And Zack exposes himself as a Swiftie.

The Podcast’s Quartermaster Liam Telfer joins Zack to unveil a new line of apparel that will put your lace-clad friends to shame.

We talk about why we’ve chosen to embark on this sartorial adventure, the joys of modelling merch in a balmy Waterloo dawn, and Zack goes off on a bizarre anecdote about battlefield dogs (don't ask - we edited most of it out!).
