Waterloo Uncovered: Bones from the Battlefield

Waterloo Uncovered: Bones from the Battlefield

In a special episode from our sister podcast Warfare, Dan is joined by host James Rogers fresh off the Waterloo battlefield in Belgium where last week an astonishing discovery was made. The project Waterloo Uncovered unearthed bones that could hold extraordinary insights into the experiences of Waterloo soldiers, their diets, health, life and death.


This episode was edited and sound designed by Aidan Lonergan.
