Two history graduates discuss the female scientists, engineers and legends that are a part of NASA's history. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the US federal government. They were established in 1958 and were formally known as National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA –> 1915 – 1958). The organisation is most famous for the moon landing and the creation of the space shuttle, however amongst those who were responsible for this historic feat, there is a surprising number of women! This episode looks at the women who were a part of NASA's history, from 1922 to the present day.

Two history graduates discuss the life of Yasuke, the first known foreign Samurai. Yasuke (YA-Su-KE) was a man of African origin who ended up serving under the Japenese daimyo Oda Nobunaga for a few short years. Despite the short length of his time a samurai, his impact on the history of the region was significant, with his story quickly becoming legend. How did a man from Africa - potentially Mozambique, however this is debated - come to Japan and become one of the daimyo's most trusted bodyguards? This episode explores his journey, and the historical significance of the 'first black samurai.'

Two history graduates discuss the legend of Medusa, the snake-haired Gorgon. 
The legend of Medusa has existed for 6,000 years, and throughout the centuries her story and appearance have changed many times. From being a Fury with tusks and golden wings, to the daughter of a Gorgon, to the snake-haired temptress, Medusa has many forms. Today she is a symbol of female rage and empowerment, someone that is a weapon against the male gaze, literally turning that gaze to stone.
