I just got an email telling me that they love the show but they don't like it when I'm snarky, they don't like the asides, and they don't like the music. Not sure what they like about the show tbh. Maybe that it has "British" in the title? Lol.

I don't give ground to white supremacists. Period. Partially because no matter what new word we pick, they'll try to poison that one too and laugh as we struggle to find a new word again. I mean, the dickbags are even making the ok sign racist. You can't give ground to them.

Axel Folio, PhD, BFF of Mr. Bloodaxe @ISASaxonistsInteresting that John Hines continues to advocate for use of a term that is not only historically inaccurate but has been rooted in racist colonialism/imperialism for 100s of years.

Wait are we talking about modern use of the word? Because I'm talking about 6th century. And if I'm not allowed to call the broad culture of the Germanic communities on the east coast of England in the 6th century "Anglo Saxon" what am I supposed to call it?

Um, 'Germanic communities on the east coast of England'?

Historians imparting knowledge and then defending that point after you dug into your heels isn't "trolling".

and if you have a public twitter account for your "british history" podcast then maybe you should expect people who study Britain for a living might take an exception to what you're talking about.
