Loremen S4 Ep 1 - William Adams, The First Englishman in Japan Part 2

Season 4, Episode 1,   Jun 02, 2022, 12:00 AM

It's season four of Loremen! It's 4oremen. 4men? Either way, we're one man short of opening a profitable burger chain. And it's time for William Adams 2: The Secret of the Ooze.

The first Englishman in Japan is starting to get comfortable in his new home/prison, but he is about to run into Jesuits, the East India Company and a particularly unpleasant maritime pornographer. Prepare yourself for a tale of hubris, smooth-talkers and a very rude misreading of 'Three Mile Island'.

For a more fulsome (and less silly) telling of the story, James's main source for this episode was Giles Milton's wonderful book, Samurai William.

Content Warning: No new willies are pulled off in this episode. But we do reference the willy-pulling in S3 Ep107.
