    003 - The Republic of Albania

    Welcome to the hard-earned third episode of Perspective! This took an absolute age to put together and there is so much out there, so please do investigate further yourselves, and sorry this took a while to get out. It's our longest episode yet...! Our soiree soirees towards the country of Albania 🐔 🇦🇱 which has a fascinating history full of a lot of big players trying to play politics on all sides. More bad pronunciation (a given), a sprinkling of bad puns, and you have yourself a journey through wibbly wobbly timey wimey. Mbani mend, mbani pak perspektivë.

    001 - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

    Welcome to the first episode of Perspective! We're starting our journey with a soiree into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland so we have a basis point before we venture into the realms of... everywhere else. This may go badly wrong from here, but you don't get anywhere without trying! Join us on a squabbly journey through the annals of time, gold mining and alpaca thoughts. Trigger warning: there may be some squirming.  Next up on our alphabetical list is Afghanistan. Please let us know if you have any tips!! *** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I incorrectly stated that Nessie was at the throat of the alpaca, but she is in fact at the ears. Ad libbing is never a good idea: my sincerest apologies for spreading misinformation.
