This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!This week we’re tackling a subject Elis has suggested, the writing of history itself: historiography! We’ll be chatting about one of the godfathers of history Herodotus, the owner of one of history’s all-time great beards Karl Marx and we’ll be discussing (and mainly trying to understand) postmodernism.  Elsewhere, Tom keeps losing his keys and claims there’s nothing he can do about it, Elis is convinced there was once a thing called the ‘Never Never Club’ in South Wales and why exactly are keys still such a big thing anyway?
