A podcast about history, science, storytelling and the curiosity of a child.
We are a father and son who are curious about… well, everything! The more you look at the world the more you understand and then the more you can see.
We like to dig into different topics, everything from the humble Ox (it’s been really important to the development of mankind – but Anton did have to learn what castration is!) to the most popular Christmas toys of yesteryear (including actual firing guns, a hideous doll that could bite off fingers and a pet rock!).
We don’t just like to talk though; we like to experience. That might mean recording on location in a 5000-year-old dolmen full of spiders and reportedly an entrance to the fairy realm. Or simply tasting spices from across the world (I’m looking forward to giving Anton chilli!) to uncover where they came from, how their trade effected people’s lives and how they’re used. Oh, and we also recreated and ate various forms of corpse medicine such as human brain, mellified man and a nice warm glass of urine. Yum!
We do all this from our small island fortress (Hitler built a lot of bunkers here). We don’t get off ‘the rock’ that often so instead we send our minds out around the world and return with stories of wonder. We then take everything we discover and have good chat about it and even do some storytelling (with sound effects!) to present it to you he listener.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that we have a time machine too.
