This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

Time to go back to the golden age of cinema; this week we’ll tell the story of how sport first burst onto the big screen, how the first silent films were soundtracked and how F Scott Fitzgerald fell in and out of love with Hollywood.

And we’re also discussing the things that take us back in time (like the theme tune to Going For Gold). What takes you back in time? AND PLEASE SEND US YOUR QUAINT LOCAL ATTRACTIONS! (With a pic of the leaflet if possible).

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

This week we are trawling the archives for scandals! (And let’s attempt this episode description in true tabloid fashion). Hear all about Lord Byron’s saucy behaviour! The blackmail of Alexander Hamilton! And (one of the all-time great scandals) you simply won’t believe the Profumo affair!

And this week we’re asking: how on earth did anyone ever travel anywhere more than 50 years ago? And we’re also asking for more contributions to our hit new feature ‘COULD YOU BE ARSED THOUGH’? And also…

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

This week we’re turning to history to find people unfortunate enough to have had a really daft death. We’ve got sixteenth-century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, Alexander Pushkin’s totally avoidable end and we’ll hear all about the sad but, in some respects, happy demise of Greek philosopher Chrysippus. 

Plus we’re chatting Stonehenge this week. Got a crackpot theory on what it is? Got a good fact? Ever been there for a rave? Well, we’re desperate to hear more: [email protected]

Let’s get behind the podcasting wheel and drive through a history of motoring. We’ll hear about the birth of the service station, the dawn of motorways and breakdown services and - and this really is a huge one - the rise and fall of Little Chef. 

And we’ve got a brand new feature which we’re calling ‘Could You Be Arsed Though?’.. Which job is easy in the modern world but would be almost impossible in the past? Send in your suggestions here: [email protected]
