Episode 18 - Geordies?
It's Tyne Travel - the North East history/comedy podcast with Raul Kohli and Mike Milligan and it's back after a tiny break with a look through a question that doesn't have an easy answer?
Why ARE Geordies called Geordies? You might think you know, but maybe it's not quite that...
A lovely trip through history, replete with speculation and the sort of ramshackle interest that comes with ADHD.
Get this at Spotify or Apple podcasts OR a week earlier at patreon.con/feltnowt where a bonus episode is also available.
