The long arm of the prehistoric past reaches through the millennia to grab our attention, and, in this episode, to grab us by the throat. Yes, we're talking folk horror in this episode, and trying not to shiver as we discuss how the past intrudes in uncanny ways on the present in films, plays and books. We have a full cast of characters in this spine-tingler, including Dr Lauren McIntyre, Rebecca Lambert (or Lady Liminal), David Southwell of the Hookland Guide, Dr Simon Underwood and Drone Lord.

Horror Part 2 - Ep 32

Horror Part 1 - Ep 31

Join Kim as she talks to Professor Chris Gosden of Oxford University about the historical and prehistorical links to Christmas books we all know and, perhaps, love. We take in an ambitious collection of four books from Dickens' A Christmas Carol, to John Masefield's Box of Delights, Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising and Terry Pratchett's The Hogfather.

Christmas Books - Ep 30

Kim talks to stone tool specialist and experimental archaeologist Dr James Dilley about the film Iceman, a dramatic reconstruction of the last days of Ötzi the Iceman. We consider such important questions as "What was the social structure of Chalcolithic society?", "Did they not have mittens?" and "Which 80s blockbuster was that actor in?".
