To celebrate two years of weekly episodes we are heading to Australia to discuss the rocky first few years of the state of Victoria. Specifically how the exploitation of gold miners led to an armed rebellion! Proving that big business using politics to protect their interests has always been a thing, and that the law has always favoured the rich this is a story of the plucky underdogs standing up to a powerful bully (played to perfection by the British army!) which, rarely for this show, has a generally positive ending.

The Eureka Stockade - Prospecting is no fun without prospects

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.
