An Englishman, an Irishman and a Frenchman Walk Into a Pub (Wars that didnt happen week) - That Was Genius Episode 48

<p>When two tribes go to war... Or don't. Because this week we're talking about wars which didn't quite happen. Or did, just not very successfully.</p> <p>Tom kicks us off with the Huéscar - Denmark war, a 172-year-long war between Denmark and a tiny town in Spain in which no-one died, and which was completely forgotten about until 1981.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Sam talks about the Battle of Fishguard, a particularly terrible attempt by France to invade Wales, and the last time mainland Britain was invaded all the way back in 1797. An invasion that involved heavy drinking, a lot of fistfighting, and some terrible accents courtesy of Sam and Tom. Well, it is That Was Genius after all...</p> <p>Subscribe and listen to us! <a href='http://bit.ly/TWGitunes'>Apple Music</a> // <a href='http://www.thatwasgeniuspodcast.com/'>Podbean</a> // <a href='https://overcast.fm/itunes1452660965/that-was-genius'>Overcast</a> // <a href='http://bit.ly/TWGStitcher'>Stitcher</a> // <a href='http://bit.ly/GeniusTuneIn'>TuneIn</a> // <a href='http://bit.ly/TWGSpotify'>Spotify</a></p> <p>Welcome to That Was Genius: Two blokes.
