For the second week in a row, we've had a bit of a whoopsie: the audio for the 1977 episode didn't record properly, so -- with the consent of the RNG -- we've entered a time vortex and are releasing the next episode, which is the year 1686. To be fair, we never claimed to know what we were doing...

In this episode, we cover the year 1686 and all it entails, including: Moustachioed babies, copper lumps, a tax in order to die, an alternate career path for Ant’s mum, the enemy of my enemy of my enemy, the club promoters of Augsburg, and far too much cranking. 

Topics Discussed: Queen Christina of Sweden, the League of Augsburg, and the Kingdom of Dahomey.

In this episode, we cover... nothing, really! With apologies for the short notice, we're actually taking this week off. It's entirely Will's fault, so please direct your angry letters to him. 

Ant and Anna did hop on a quick call (don't worry, Anna is not trapped at the bottom of a well, it just sounds like it) to share a few 1977 nuggets to tide you over, so if you're in the mood for some facts about the guillotine and/or famous Atlanta rapper/actors, you're in luck! But we'll be back next week with the full 1977 episode.

Topics Discussed: Yet another in a long line of historical figures Anna was briefly in love with, Ant's freestyling abilities, and How Much Will Sucks.
