Back in the 1790's, Samuel Ireland's son, William Henry, came to him with an exciting discovery - he had found a document belonging to the one and only William Shakespeare! But where had he found it? And could there be more?? This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 08:39 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
