Comedian Esther Manito joins the PastMaster team for a time travel trip to the ancient Silk Road. On a mission to hire a crew and trek a caravan of silk from Samarkand to Baghdad, how will Esther's negotiating skill and improvised poetry serve her in this land of hard bargains, street-smart urchins and uncompromising rulers? With the clock ticking and our robot Game Master in no mood for tomfoolery, the chances of success look slim. But as a "naturally competitive person" can will Esther prevail against the odds? Episode features camels, sherbet, poisonings, silk and limericks. - - - - -  GET IN TOUCH Sign up to our newsletter 👉 ⁠⁠www.pastmasterpod.com⁠  Instagram 👉⁠ ⁠@pastmasterpod⁠  TikTok 👉 ⁠@pastmasterpod⁠ X 👉⁠ ⁠@pastmasterAI⁠ Email us  👉 ⁠[email protected]⁠ - - - - -  EXPLORE THE PASTMASTER ⁠INTERACTIVE MAP⁠  The perfect companion for keeping track of our increasingly chaotic attempts to meddle with history. - - - - - Learn more about your ad choices.
