Join Emily and Raymond for a walk in South London’s Brockwell Park with superstar podcaster, historian and author Tom Holland.
Although Tom is more of a cat man these days, he tells us about his beloved childhood dog, a bearded-collie called Ben. He also tells us about growing up with a fascination for dinosaurs, the foundation of his passion for history and meeting his wife Sadie at Cambridge University.
As fans of The Rest Is History will know, Tom is an endlessly fascinating man - so we have decided to release this episode in two parts. You can listen to part two here!
You can listen to The Rest Is History wherever you get your podcasts! Ray’s favourite episode of The Rest Is History: ‘History’s Greatest Dogs’ is here.

Tom’s latest book Pax is available now!
