Recently (2025) I have been revisiting some of the initial material which informed Three Acres And A Cow’s early days (2012) and it was a happy week last week as I made time to relistened to the Norman Centuries podcast, made back in 2009.
This was very early days for podcasting and the production values are highly variable, verging on almost unlistenable in places – with one episode that is distorted all the way through! But the research and presentation is compelling and very very useful for anyone who wants to truly understand English history.
I would class this podcast as ‘Norman aversion therapy’ due to it being the main source of information that allowed me to cultivate some grudging respect for the Normans and as well as some empathy for Guillaume the bastard, as his childhood was frankly a horrific shit show.
