This story's got everything in it, I have to say. voice-verified

It is the story of Britain and Ireland. voice-verified

And it isn't one of transformation, but really, you know, sort of the layering, several layers, one on top of each other across more than a thousand years. voice-verified

So in today's episode, we're going inside the mysterious sacred worlds of early Britain and Ireland, Britain's earliest religious buildings called Long Barrows. voice-verified

then Stonehenge, the other world, the bog bodies, the pagan festivals, and of course, the Druids. voice-verified

And we do so with the finest guide available, Professor Ronald Hutton of the University of Bristol, author of Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles, Blood and Mistletoe, the History of the Druids in Britain, and the Druids, simply the Druids. voice-verified
