Posting here for other Englishmen interested in the history of the land.
We've started a podcast where we casually research and share the real history behind Age of Empires civilisations. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy.
Episode 1 covers the House of Lancaster and summarises the backdrop of the geopolitics at the time, then dives into random subjects from the wool industry to how pooping on ships worked, with a focus on military power given the scope of the game. Next episode will cover the significance of landmarks like Lancaster Castle and technology of the time.

It's our first attempt and we will strive to improve. Would love feedback from gamers and history buffs!
