For the first episode of year 2 we decided to do a story about a story based on a story! Join us as we discuss the origins of the terms 'Albion' and 'Britannia' as understood by the average person from the middle ages. It may be questionable in terms of historical accuracy but when you have giants, daemons and classical Greek heroes in the mix do facts really matter.* Guest Host: Emma Heathcote *Yes, yes they do.<hr> Hosted on Acast. See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for more information.

Brutus and Albina - Where there's a name there's a claim!

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
