I'm Jason, and I blame a dog for this show. As a high school sophomore, I learned that General George Patton named his bull terrier Willie, after William the Conqueror. I looked William up. I never really stopped.
It's been an obsession ever since. In 2022, my wife and I went to Battle (yes, the town is actually called Battle) and toured everything for miles around. Nothing says romance like a battlefield.
I came home wanting to write a book. One problem: my brain is so literal it reads fiction like a contract. So this show is my workaround. I tell the true story out loud, every week, and wait for the creative juices to start flowing. Or at least trickling.
I hope you enjoy this half as much as I'm going to.
