36 分钟Listen, if you think you've had a hard day at work today,
spare a thought for soldiers in the Middle Ages.
Their commutes take literally months.
All the while they're dodging the Black Death, dysentery and some very nasty… I'm Dan Jones,
I'm a historian and host of the podcast This Is History, a dynasty to die for.
I also write historical fiction and my new novel Lion Hearts completes my Essex Dogs trilogy charting the Hundred Years War.
To celebrate, I'll be on stage with Intelligence Squared later this month,
talking all things Lion Hearts,
where I'll be joined by Helen Carr in Bath and Alice Loxton in London.

Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.
I'm producer Mia Sorrenti.
Today's episode is part two of our recent live event with Nick Clegg.
Clegg joined us on stage at Union Chapel to discuss his time as President of Global Affairs at Metta.
and what the future holds for the relationship between big tech and global politics.
