John Dee's Manchester (Part 1)

Conjurer, scientist, schemer.

John Dee was the most learned man in Tudor England. An advisor to Queen Elizabeth and an ambitious diplomat who coined the phrase 'British Empire'.

He also had an unquenchable thirst for the occult, conducting secret experiments to speak with angels, using magic to solve crimes and travelling across Europe in search of forbidden knowledge.

Chris, Dean and Yakub discuss the life of this mysterious polymath and the decade he spent in Manchester during a time when there was no distinction between magic and science.
