  • Demara was Several Monks

    Welcome the Great Imposter! Not a superhero, nor a stage magician, but a man who really REALLY wanted to be a monk and ended up being a doctor, a psychologist, a lawyer, and an actor (and only one of those was legitimate).

  • Londoners were Robbed by Elephants

    We're back! Let's blow the dust off the microphones with a story about criminal gangs in London's past. This particular gang is made up of... elephants? Well, no, women actually, but still interesting either way, right?

  • We're Having a Little Break
    That Time When is going on a little hiatus for December as both Amelia and Barnaby have been busy with work and fighting off various illnesses. We'll see you in the New Year (at which point we'll take down this post).

  • Mashers got the Point
    In the late 19th to early 20th centuries, women suddenly faced more street harassment than before. Of course, they weren't going to take that lying down and so came up with new ways to defend themselves thanks... to fashion. This week on That Time When we talk about the hatpin panic, and once again see that nothing ever really changes in history. By the way, if you do want to listen to the song we discuss (if you really want to hear the whole, dark thing) you can search for "Never go Walking out without your Hatpin" performed by Elsa Lanchester.

  • Richard II was Remarkably Like Charles VI
    After Barnaby talked last week about a mad king, Amelia has been champing at the bit to talk about one of her favourite subjects: Richard II of England. Was he mad? Did he have scores of gay lovers? Probably not, but there has been a lot of confusion over the life of Richard II and why he was so unpopular in the eyes of history. Also featuring John of Gaunt wanging on about This Scepter'd Isle

  • Charles VI was a Hot, Wild Man
    Charles VI of France was, for a while, known as Charles the Beloved. He surrounded himself with competent advisors and managed to reverse some unpopular decisions. Things were looking good. Unfortunately the king had his own personal problems, and led to a party that effectively ended his reign and a regency council appointed instead. What happened at that party? Why should you be wary of a wild man costume? And did the Duke of Orleans conspire with demons? Find out here.

  • Burke and Hare were Unbelievably Sloppy
    It's Halloween! Or, a couple of days afterwards anyway, but hey ho, we're going to do a Halloween episode anyway. This week, Amelia dives into the world of body snatching in 19th century Edinburgh with the tale of Burke and Hare, who were definitely not the sort of suave gentlemen killers you might imagine, but opportunists who were pretty lazy all things considered.

  • The Chevalier de Saint Georges was a Revolutionary, an Abolitionist, and Still a Musician (Feat. Goats eating coffee) (Part 2)
    Well we might have beaten our record for longest episode title, but it's necessary when you're talking about someone as awesome as the Chevalier de Saint Georges. He continues with his displays of swordsmanship (with special appearance from a previous subject of the podcast), but now brings his attention to the plight of Haitian slaves, but always returns to his passion of music. Also, should we be thanking caffeinated goats for coffee?
