Benjamin Bernier
My name is Benjamin Bernier, and I am the host of Thugs and Miracles, a podcast looking back at 1,500 years of history - from the fall of Rome until the fall of the guillotine - as seen through the eyes of the Kings and Queens of France. I have a passion for this time period and for translating – both literally and figuratively – ancient stories that have often fallen by the wayside.
