    Rachel's Wedding, Jorvik Viking Banquet and Boris C U Next Tuesday

    The 44th episode of the ‘Beer n BS Show’

    Join us as we talk shit so you don’t have to…

    With a new format… the Beer or BS segment gets published a couple of weeks before this episode. It means you get the really funny part as a shorter self contained segment and this segment a bit later should you have a bit more time.

    In this episode we catch up with Rachee Dee and discuss the wedding of the year, talk about the world famous Jorvik Viking Festival and Banquet that is held in York and wrap up by losing our shit talking about Bojo! What a C**T! 

    Enjoy the show, hit the sub button and leave us a review!

    Grab a beer, put on your headphones (we are not suitable for children – Rachel’s fault – most of the time) and enjoy the show!

    Ales Tasted:

    Aaron's Craft Beer Suggestion:

    • Best Foot Forward by DEYA Bewing Co. (English Bitter - Cask) - 4.4% ABV
      Best Foot Forward is a traditional English bitter with the finest Brookhouse hops. Fresh, delicious, English malted barley brings biscuit and light caramel character to the beer, while locally grown and processed hops bring a moreish dark fruit flavour and a firm bitterness. Fermented with our house yeast (an English ale strain) for light stone fruit esters and a thick mouthfeel. Packaged at lower carbonation to replicate a pint in the pub. Lush

    Richard III and York with Matthew Lewis

    Richard III and York with Matthew Lewis

    This episode, we’re stepping out of the Viking era to talk about a topic near and dear to York: Richard III. One of the most controversial rulers in British history, York has always been loyal to the memory of Richard. But why? To understand that, we spoke with Matthew Lewis, chair of the Richard III Society, author of several books on the Wars of the Roses, and one of the hosts of History Hit’s new podcast Gone Medieval. He explains how Richard helped York out of a few sticky situations when he was still a Duke, how Richard championed the common man during his time in Yorkshire, and how his trip to York after his coronation may have led to his downfall.

Have no fear - we spoke to Ian Sharpe, author of the Vikingverse series and co-author of the new book "Old Norse for Modern Times," a phrase book for those moments when modern languages just aren't enough. Ian told us about the process of making this book, the beauty of Old Norse, and just how on Midgard Old Norse words for "wifi" and "binge watching" were developed.
