What’s this—another appearance by historian Rachael Whitbread so soon after coming on the show to tell us about her wonderful book Battle: Understanding Conflict from Hastings to Helmand?
Indeed, but for a very special reason.
Rachael is now a wargamer!
Listen to her story of how, after appearing on the show in September, she caught the wargaming bug and made the transition from civilian leading a perfectly normal life, to someone who now frets about proper basing techniques and which undercoat is best to use for medieval armour!
I’m thrilled that I played a part in Rachael’s conversion, and absolutely delighted that she agreed to come back on the show to describe her experience over the last few months as she changed her life forever—and, as it turns out, her husband’s too!
One of the most fun chats I’ve had on the podcast, and I think you’ll find Rachael’s enthusiasm infectious.
