  • Summary

  • Have we found the oldest profession in the world? Yes we have... our guest today is Ian, who is a Blacksmith, a job which first dates back to over 5000 years ago. He is a master of his craft, who spends his days at his forge, heating metal to ridiculous temperatures, and shaping them into beautiful and practical things. He also makes random things like medieval guillotines, metal flowers, and ornate iron gates. The good news is, Ian still has all 10 fingers, which after listening to this episode, will surprise you. ☀️Come and see us at Pub in the Park on 18th May (Marlow) or 1st June (London)!
