I am getting over a cold, so have no voice to record with this week. Sorry about that. As a substitute, here is the podcast from this time last year (from 10 to 16 November 2024).. The days of the week will be out of step, so that when the podcast says “Monday”, please hear “Tuesday”. Normal service will be resumed next week! Saints Martin of Tours, Margaret of Scotland, Elizabeth of Hungary and Albert the Great. Friar Julian, the lost Hungarians and the Mongols. More of the gift of death. Episode notes.
