This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Chris Dobson, a master armorer with extensive experience, offers insight into the real history of armour, dispelling common misconceptions like the myth of the knight in shining armour.Contrary to popular belief, armour was not overly heavy or cumbersome, but carefully engineered for mobility and protection, often proofed against weapons to ensure it worked in battle. The craftsmanship involved was highly specialised, governed by strict guild regulations, and included techniques such as colouring metal for both aesthetic and protective purposes.Behind the craft lies a murkier side to the armour trade, linked to organised crime and influential networks including Freemasonry. With a personal background shaped by his father’s role as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park during WWII, Chris has now retired from armour-making and turned his focus to art history, reflecting on a career rooted in skill, secrecy, and historical truth.✉️ Subscribe to my newsletter.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Robert Frederick argues that William Shakespeare was essentially a hoax - that the famous plays weren't actually written by the man from Stratford-upon-Avon, but instead by Sir Francis Bacon, a highly educated Tudor insider.According to Robert, Bacon used Shakespeare as a front whilst secretly writing all the plays himself, and this deception was part of a much larger conspiracy involving Freemasonry and empire-building. He believes the whole Shakespeare myth was deliberately created to build up English national pride and power, with institutions like the First Folio being designed to promote what he calls "Bardolatry" - the worship of Shakespeare as England's greatest writer.He sees this as evidence of a technocratic conspiracy where the real author, Bacon, remained hidden whilst a carefully constructed persona took all the credit.➡️ The Hidden Life Is Best website✉️ Subscribe to my newsletter.
