Two history graduates discuss the life of Boudica, Queen of the Iceni.
Boudica was the Queen of a Celtic tribe called the Iceni, in what is now called Norfolk. Her story begins in 60-61AD, and ends with war and poison.  Infamous as the ginger-haired warrior who burned down London, her story has lasted throughout the centuries, due to Tacitus and Cassius Dio immortalising and mythologising her story. As is the theme with this podcast, in this episode we find out the true story behind the fearsome facade, and learn about the woman who wanted to avenge the atrocities enacted on her daughters, and her people, by the tyrannical Roman occupation.

Two history graduates discuss the Pendle and Salem Witch Trials. This episode is Part 1 of a two part collaboration with Drunk & Twisted, a true crime podcast hosted by Samantha and Chloe.
The Pendle Witch Trials took place in 1612 and can be directly linked to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. King James I had an obsession with witches throughout his reign, following his near death experience before his coronation in which the ship he was on almost sank due to stormy seas - he believed the storms had been caused by witches. This belief in witchcraft and magic had been prevalent for generations, and continued for many after, across the West. Witch trials usually resulted in the persecution and execution of women, whether it be by hanging or by the stake. This episode explores the two trials, the links between them, and how suspicion of witchcraft affected women during the 17th century.

Two history graduates discuss the life of William Wallace in comparison to the movie Braveheart.
William Wallace is an iconic figure in Scottish History. He fought for Scotland's freedom during the first Scottish Wars of Independence against the tyrannical English King, Edward I. Although Wallace's involvement in the independence movement was relatively short due to his capture and execution in 1305, his story is still well known today because of his initial military success against the previously unbeatable English army. In 1995, the film 'Braveheart' (dir. by Mel Gibson) was released to critical acclaim. Today it is known as one of the most historically inaccurate films and has been heavily criticised by historians. In this episode, we go through the film and discuss the real life events that the film does - or more often doesn't - portray.

Two history graduates discuss the life of Annie Oakley.
Annie Oakley, the famous sharpshooter, had a difficult childhood. Despite this, she was very successful in her later life, becoming one of the most notable members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. She travelled across America and Europe, performing for royalty and political leaders and awing them with her incredible shooting skills that she had developed as a child to provide for her family after the death of her father. Annie strongly believed in women being able to practice self-defence, and advocated for equal pay throughout her life. This episode discusses the legend that is Annie Oakley, and all that she achieved in her life as one of the iconic figures of American history.
