In this minisode, Mark takes the lead to tell the story of the discovery of Natal by Portuguese explorer Vasca de Gama on Christmas Day 1497, a story that has intrigued him since he first heard it as a child. The story has a festive aspect to it, and introduces a special guest.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to our listeners from Mark (@markboyle86), Joe (@anbeirneach) and Luke (@thelukejkelly)! We'll see you in 2019.
