That plus a nice piece of grass, and what 5 guys are doing in a basement somewhere in the Hatti-land.If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryContact information: http://facebook.com/fanofhistoryE-mail: zimwaypodcast@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.
