Join the podcast of time and place as we delve into our very first episode - an exploration of early Anglo-Saxon England, with your host Myko Clelland and this episode's guest - Saxon re-enactor and Viking musician, Tom Atkinson.
Who were the Angles and the Saxons, what about the Jutes and Frisians? Were they really a vicious warrior people, or did they have a softer side? How did they transform Roman England, and what have they left behind that can be seen today?
We'll explore modern portrayals of the Saxon world in books, film and television to judge their accuracy, and get a taste for one of their greatest pastimes, the riddle, as we go past the border for the very first time!
