About Podcast
Have you ever wondered How much of 'Gladiator' actually happened? Whether William Wallace ever did half the things 'Braveheart' said he did? Whether the crowds were really chanting Queen lyrics in the 14th Century of 'A Knight's Tale'? Or if any of that even matters when the story is just that good?
If you've ever found yourself in one of those situations, tune in for The Bearded Bards Podcast: a weekly discussion and exploration of the greatest (and not-so-greatest) moments in history, literature, and cinema, and where those three intersect.
