Matt finally gets to talk about Sealand

Last Thursday’s episode touched on the relatively short-lived, Israel-backed micro-nation of Free Lebanon. So Matt thought it was a perfect excuse to talk about his favourite ever micro-nation: the Principality of Sealand. Especially because when he mentioned Sealand at the end of last year, a lot of you wrote in to say you shared his enthusiasm.

So here we finally are. Today, Matt is telling producer Adair the story of the radio pirate turned actual pirate who declared himself Prince of a rusting gun platform in the North Sea.
