Were the Romans safties? Matt and Gianluca ponder this and other big questions as they track down an ancient stone in Old Kilpatrick, physically and anecdotally tracing the extent of the Romans' reach in Loch Lomondside and Scotland more widely. The Romans used their short swords and uniform law to cleave down multiple enemies and command various corners of Eurasia. In this podcast episode, Matt and Gianluca use silly sound effects and erratic yet surprisingly historically respectful metaphors to mow down the barriers of reality and transport you, the listener, to the turn of the first millenium and into the shoes of a powerful yet cold, damp and confused African general. Sound good? Get listening!

Immerse yourself in Scotland's most famous natural environment through the informed and uninformed conversations of two local lads from Loch Lomond and the Trossachs in the beautiful West of Scotland. Mixing hours of dense research with spontaneous reflections on the more odd aspects of growing up in the region, Gianluca and Matt will take you on a truly authentic and (for better or for worse) unforgettable sonic journey along the famous Bonnie Banks.
