Season 2, Episode 10: Two mad dogs, a swan burger and a fighting bear [1613CE] ft. special guest Marc Zakian
In the ultimate battle of man vs machine, we pit our human guide against artificial intelligence for an adventure through time. But who will emerge as more insightful and knowledgeable?
In the human corner we have the excellent Marc Zakian from Extraordinary Stories of Britain podcast, and in the machine corner we have our trusty AI GameMaster.
Marc is a Blue Badge Guide and runs regular tours in the British Museum and the Tower of London and counts Shakespeare among his specialities.
For this PastMaster adventure Marc takes Tan and Ryan on a tour of Jacobean London in 1613 for a day of eating, drinking, gambling, blood sports and even a cultured trip to the Globe Theatre. What could possibly go wrong?
Famed fighting bear Sackerson, the notorious Winchester Geese, and potent beverages such as Mad Dog and By The Wall feature in this rip-roaring and pungent tour of historical London.
