This week we are taking a 400 year trip through the phenomena of spontaneous human combustion. Focusing on some of the more famous British cases we will see how scientists slowly refined their hypotheses of what the hell is going on when bodies suddenly become roaring fires. Of course I have also managed to shoehorn in a murder or two for good measure (you've got to give the people what they want). Guest Host: Thomas Heathcote<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Spontaneous Human Combustion - (or) Liar, liar pants on fire.

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
