I'm a Fall of Civilizations @fallofcivspod.bsky.social voice actor! In fact, I deliver the first and last readings you'll hear during The Mongols: Terror of the Steppe. I'm unbelievably chuffed to be part of one of my favourite podcasts. Huge thanks to @paulmmcooper.bsky.social for giving me a shot!
