Past the Border Myko Clelland

Join us as we explore the strange tale of a Caribbean nation, founded in 1964 on a shallow bank just outside of Jamaican waters, by the brother of famed author Ernest Hemingway.

What do you need to found your own country? How did an author and adventurer get away with it, and what happened to this New Atlantis? 

In this episode, we'll walk through the foundation, life, and untimely demise of one of the smallest (and strangest) nations on earth, as we go past the border once more!

Join the podcast of time and place as we delve into our very first episode - an exploration of early Anglo-Saxon England, with your host Myko Clelland and this episode's guest - Saxon re-enactor and Viking musician, Tom Atkinson. 

Who were the Angles and the Saxons, what about the Jutes and Frisians? Were they really a vicious warrior people, or did they have a softer side? How did they transform Roman England, and what have they left behind that can be seen today? 

We'll explore modern portrayals of the Saxon world in books, film and television to judge their accuracy, and get a taste for one of their greatest pastimes, the riddle, as we go past the border for the very first time!
