I’m now well in the midst of writing my next video. Compared to the last video, it’s going to be a bit of a contrast. Making a mini-series (and shorter videos) was a lot...

Hey all!
I apologise for being a bit slow with posting episodes of my podcast, Induction, to Patreon.
We launched it in the days prior to Treason Fest kicking off, which meant it got a little lost among the business of writing and filming and editing that.
But, here is Episode 4, in which I talk with the wonderful Zoe Bee about the uber-ification of university and col...

Hey all!
Here it is! The third and final episode of Treason Fest 2023.
This time, we're looking at how Queen Victoria invented the modern monarchy and, in the process, almost destroyed the entire institution.
I think this is a fun final episode and so I hope you get something out of it!
Making this mini-series has been a lot of fun but also very tiring and so I'...

With the coronation of Charles III now even closer, we're taking a look at one of history's biggest haters of the British monarchy: Thomas Paine.
This one is a fun little adventure story featuring privateers, strikes and three separate revolutions.
Feedback from the first episode of Treason Fest was rea...

Hey everyone!
In the rush to get the video out last week, I didn't quite manage to prep a proper references list for launch day as I usually do.
So, here it is, a little late!
As ever, to avoid it being just a ridiculously long list of URLs, I've highlighted a few sources which I would suggest would be good starts for further reading.
But, if there are any particular asp...

Hi Everyone!
Attached is the link to the ad-free version of my latest video: How Energy Privatisation Bankrupted Britain.
Some of you will already know that the UK is currently in the midst of a devastating energy crisis in which bills have risen by about 400% in just a couple of years.
While much of the media commentary on the topic has focussed on the recent (and temporary) ...
