Derek Joists ,

A great new history ranking podcast

A new addition to the RexyPod family of podcasts ranking notable historical figures, this podcast is going through the leaders of Spain. It's great fun so far, and has made me realise how little I know about Spanish history, I'm looking forward to hearing their stuff going forward.
