July 25, 2024 E48 SMELLS

We take our sense of smell for granted until it's taken away from us by, oh, I don't know... a global pandemic? Smell is very important, not just for us but for every animal with an olfactory bowl. This episode goes into some detail on the weirder side of a sniff.

July 18, 2024 E47 POLICE
Even if we never engage with the Police personally, we see their exploits and results in the news and all over TV in fiction. And we inevitably hear their sirens when going about our business. This episode is all about the boys and girls in blue (or black these days), their history and their time travelling boxes.

July 11, 2024 E46 BATHTUBS
Bathtubs aren't something that most of us spend a lot of time thinking about. Unless you're remodelling a home, you probably don't even think about the noble bath. But it's hard to beat a tub as a place for winding down, cleaning up, and generally finding a sense of well-being. This time, we go into the history of the tub, its use over the ages, and why you would want to spend vast amounts of money on one. As always, click on the pics to go down inescapable plugholes.

July 04, 2024 E45 CAMELS
Camels are the most amazing creatures. Designed for their habitat, they store water in their blood, fat in their hump (so they don't sweat much), and can carry large loads and run like the wind. This episode explores the beauty (literally in one case) of the design of the camel.

June 27, 2024 E44 SECRETS
We almost made it to 30 minutes, but it's a fascinating subject and worth the extra six minutes!

Secrets have been around forever, and we barely scratch the surface in this episode.

However, as we scratch, we uncover a whole realm of subcutaneous facts that will surprise and delight you.

June 20, 2024 E43 PIRATES
Being a pirate seems so romantic. Someone who refuses to follow the well-beaten shipping lanes and goes their own way. And that's kind of true. Except for the death and destruction... This episode looks at the body that clothes the Jolly Roger (see the episode on Flags) and what happens beyond the parrot and eyepatch. (Sounds like a pub!)

June 13, 2024 E42 HATS

Hats have been around for a while. Egyptians and Romans wore them, and so do food delivery riders today. This one's all about this ubiquitous headgear.

June 06, 2024 41 SHEEP
Sheep are part of our heritage. We have worn woollen clothing forever, we have walked on woollen carpets from Axminster. We have work sheepskin in fighter planes and in used car lots. There's more to sheep than black or white. Click on the pics, as always, for shaggy stories.

May 30, 2024 E40 TELEGRAPH
The telegraph revolutionised communication for peace, war and finance, not to mention birthdays and weddings. Simon's feeling poorly this time, so our friend Greg Dwyer stands in for him and telegraphs an excellent performance (as usual).

May 23, 2024 E39 FANS
Fans have been keeping us cool for centuries, from huge ones that cool a whole room to small ones that flutter and send messages. We hope this episode makes you one of our biggest fans. If only...
