Jodi Taylor Hi Ann,

Thanks for your question. Yes, in the fullness of time, Peterson will replace Dr Bairstow. But that's a long time in the future, so no cause for alarm!

Hi Jodi, simple question: In the St. Mary's books, why did you go for "an historian" instead of "a historian"? I get it that "h" is a weak consonant, but for other combinations like "a hideous" or "a hindrance", you use "a" (thank goodness my ebook reader has a search function). I'm not an English native speaker (I'm German) but I'm very interested in details like this. Is there a quirky rule that I'm not aware of?

PurplePrimula asked Jodi Taylor:

I recently listened to a podcast about the battle of Agincourt, and it reminded me of Max' little book about it. I wondered if the idea for that one was based on an actual book you had come across previously? (And if so, which one?)

Carro asked Jodi Taylor:

I've just been listening (again) to An Utterly Impartial History of Britain or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots In Charge (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1935045.An_Utterly_Impartial_History_of_Britain_or_2000_Years_of_Upper_Class_Idiots_In_Charge?from_search=true) which has some glorious irreverence to it. Anyway, wondered if you'd read it?
