    Glad to see that Mathew gave credit to the Looking For Richard Group who were the impetus behind the dig. They were all members of the Richard III Society and while Mathew Morris and his boss were looking for a church, Philippa Langley et al were definitely looking for Richard. It was fellow member John Ashdown-Hill’s work with DNA that led everyone to believe that any remains that might be Richard’s, could be identified.

      Thank you for listening! I’m glad you enjoyed the show, and I agree that Mathew is tremendously gracious with his time and consistent consideration to all the numerous individuals involved in any project of this size. It was exciting to learn from him about the dig, and even more exciting to know there is still so much more to learn and explore. Feel free to post links here in the comments to the Richard III Society as well as the Looking for Richard group as I’m sure listeners would love to explore those groups as great places to learn more related to this episode.
