Hi everyone, this week we’re doing things a bit different. I’ll be back from my mid year break with new episodes in two weeks’ time. In the meantime we’re running a pledge week for the Patreon channel. 

Monday through Thursday I’ll be dropping on old Patreon minisode per day - today we’re going to meet a now obscure, but terrifying General named Uqba Ibn Nafi. 

Check out my Patreon! For just $2 a month* you get a minimum of one tale every month 

(we’re committed to 20 a year there this year, and will start releasing two a month every month when we hit my first stretch target.) 

As a patron you are helping to keep independent creators like me keep going, in my case Patreon money helps me buy books to research these tales, like the main source in this tale 

Francois-Xavier Fauvelle’s ‘The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages

Unsure if you want to join up? Try a 7 day free trial.
