The History Sit-Down #4, with Charlie Higson

At the recent MedievalFest extravaganza, hosted by

HistFest

in the British Library, I once more had the honour of chilling out in their excellent green room. It’s what a green room should be - plenty of coffee, lots of post-event booze, free mince pies and, of course, wonderful company.

This year I was able to share the stage with one of the great renaissance men of our age, Charlie Higson. Having achieve acclaim and fame in various entertainment mediums, Charlie has now turned his hand to podcasting, and history podcasting at that.

So I grabbed him for a chat! Welcome, once gain, to THE HISTORY SIT-DOWN with the most fantastic of guests. Listen, comment, share, enjoy! And don’t forget to check out the splendid ‘Willy, Willy, Harry Ste’ podcast wherever you podcast. It’s one of the very best.
