We present our recording at Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival in October where Ed Night joined us to travel back to 1829. Oxford University wins the first inter-university boat race, Robert Peel establishes the Metropolitan Police in London, the first modern police force, Lord William Bentinck pushes through a regulation declaring pushing self-immolation of widow on her husbands funeral pyre is guilty of culpable homicide, Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, claims to have received the Aaroni Priesthood from John the Baptist, Kaspar Hauser is wounded, and a lucky audience member pits their history knowledge against Ed to be in with the chance of winning £25,000!
