  • 120 - The Hindenburg Disaster

    Oh the humanity! A new episode has landed (crashed). It's one of the most documented disasters of the 20th Century, but what really happened to The Hindenburg? What could possibly bring down the largest vessel that has ever flown? An acrobat, Nazis and a boy with the best name we have ever come across... this story has it all.

  • 117 - Why Do Girls Wear Pink and Boys Wear Blue?

    This week's episode is in the form of a question - 'Why Do Girls Wear Pink and Boys Wear Blue?' Well, Matt has a bloody crack at answering this... he goes back to the 1800s to a time before the pink and blue dichotomy, all the way up to modern day, today! US President FDR gets a mention and historian and author Jo Paoletti's research is referenced a lot. It's an interesting time!

  • 113 - Explorer, David Livingstone

    David Livngstone you presume? Correct! One of the most famous people of the Victorian era, David Livingstone was a terrible missionary... But lucky for him he was a fantastic explorer. Travelling to Africa for three seperate epic adventures, he went to an incredible amount of places no other European person had ever been before him. He is also perhaps best remembered for his advocacy against slavery.

  • 112 - Chesty Puller

    This week we discuss the life of the most decorated Marine in US History, Lewis "Chesty" Puller! Yep, it's another badass! We get distracted a fair bit too, and there's a lot of US military jargon that we don't fully understand becuase A) We are Australian and B) we are podcasters and NOT in the military. Regardless, Chesty is a very impressive person!
