On this first episode of the Roey Grad Podcast, our host Charles speaks to Prof. Ted Vallance, Dean of Research and Doctoral Study at the University of Roehampton. Ted is also an historian, expert on Charles I and the English Civil War, although as we find out, these days he does this on his spare time.
