The Silly History Boys Show

Hold your horse’s listener, it’s dinnertime! And Heracles is taking us out on a hot date to the Kingdom of Thrace. But wait- are we the appetiser?

On the menu are Wicked Kings, Troubled Gods and Flesh-Eating Horses!

Call ahead for a reservation to avoid disappointment!    

A big thanks to ZapSplat for scuffles and tussles.

A heavily reduced Mount Olympus summer ski-lift pass to Scott Buckley for his tracks The Summoning and Titan.

All the veggie porridge Lord Fast Fingers can eat for the intro.

Please do rate and review and why not tell a friend (or even better, an enemy?)

Another deep dip in the dark ages with the Silliest Boys in history!

...this week we're swimming with Wales!

Join us for battles, betrayal, Brummies and boyos as we begin the tale of...

Gruffydd ap Llewellyn the Last Action King of Wales!

Can squirty young Griff become King of the Britons because a stew told him he would...or will his wicked Uncle, mean Sister and legions of Mercian Brummies blunt his horns?

There only one way to find out...the silly way...tidy!

A cutch for  ZapSplat for music and SFX for this tale from the land of song.

Dioch to Scott Buckley for his epic music.

A peck on the cheek from Katherine Jenkins for Lord Fast Fingers for the intro.

Dioch to Dan Bradley of Dan Bradley music and a Sospan of Cuddles for Jen Hewitt Music!

Hello Listener you look tired!

Come on you’ve worked hard enough today its time to cuddle up in bed with…a story!

A new feature for us silly boys with a little screeching and explosions to lull you to sleep!

But don’t worry the screeching and explosions will be back next time.

For now cosy up with…some Tales from Wales.

The Eagle and the Wren and the Coat of Beards.

See you next time Nos da!

Music used with Kind Permission of the Guild of Ambience.

Someone has cut off the hair of the Goddess Sif, and she's super unhappy about it. So unhappy that she's made the Silly Boys all be in the same room to record her saga!

Join us as we venture back to Asgard again, live before ourselves.

It's a tale of origins, of weapons, of stubby handles.

Thanks to www.Zapsplat.com as always for their zips, zaps, boings and whatnot, and to www.scottbuckley.com.au for his awesome music.

Our hero is struggling with his mental and personal wellbeing as he approaches his 7th labour.

Is Heracles having a mid-labour crisis? 

Has he fallen out of Love with Labouring?

Perhaps wrestling a good looking bull will help? We're talking Chris Hemsworth levels of beefcake yo. 

Join Heracles as he goes on a bit of a jaunt with daddy Zeus to visit Uncle Poseidon to witness how Minos became King of Crete.

(and perhaps find out how the feared Minotaur came to be)

Such a jam packed show with barely any source material!

A ton of bull puns to ZapSplat for music and SFX

A barn load of bull wordplay to Scott Buckley for his medium well music

A bolt gun of bull puns for Lord Fast Fingers for the intro.

Come wallow in our socials Insta & FB @SillyHistoryBoys

or buy us a steak on Ko-Fi

Please do rate and review :)

Thanks all!

OMGosh are we wilfully niche for you this time listener! What starts off as an episode about The Percy Family, turns into a deep dive on Wressle Castle and it's ownership! 

Some say this conflict over Wressle Castle starts the feud between the families Percy & Neville; which in turn may have given the Wars of the Roses a big old push in the fight direction. 

This episode is ram packed with interesting tidbits listener! Why it has contract law, local and not so local caretakers, and many familiar characters from History. 

Why there's Henry Percy (you can call him Harry Hotspur), his son Henry Percy, and who can forget Henry Percy's son, Henry Percy?  

You'll laugh with Henry VI, cry with Richard Duke of York, and be slightly weirded out by the Kingmaker himself, Richard Neville Earl of Warwick.

If we could bequeath a wressle castle shaped prezzie to ZapSplat for music and sfx we would!

Big Scotty Buckley get all the roses for his tracks Absolution and Legionnaire

Brian Bolger gets a cinnamon bun from St Albans market for his track Black Mass

and Lord Fast Fingers Rob Tristram gets to keep being our friend. 

Chuck us some Coin on Ko-Fi?

Please do rate and review! Give five stars if you were confused by this episode! It's how we roll. 

LOVE YOU!!! 

Nail the doors shut, barricade the fridge, the Silly History Boys are back…and so are the Vikings!

Rollo and his gang of idiots return laying siege to the mighty city of Paris.

Only two hundred brave souls, a few croissants and quite a lot of hot wax stand between the Viking Horde and the conquest of France…only bickering can stop them…and giant cross bows.

Join the Silliest boys in history for a most irreverent dive into Abbo Cernuus Bella Parisiacæ urbis and discover how Viking Hot Bod Rollo the Walker founded the Duchy of Normandy!

A big pile of tax free Danegeld to ZapSplat for music & SFX

 Scott Buckley will be placed in a Longship and set on fire to thank him for his glorious music!

We honour Lord Fast Fingers and his very fast fingers for penning the intro 

Hit us up on our Ko-Fi and your place in Valhalla is assured!

Please Rate and Review  and Odin's Ravens will fly down from his throne and do the washing up!

Sorry for the delay chums, some of you know how the summer goes!

We'll see you tomorrow for Rollo the Viking Part two!

WOO!

Its the Silly History of England Part two: Return of Jafar!

Swotty Uncle Bob Bob is back for part two of the Silly History of England!

A special 'talky' podcast where everyone's favourite History Pervert attempt to bridge gaps in people's knowledge and explain complicated history...in terms that a silly person can understand. 

This week he over stretches himself by trying to get through the Hundred Years War (and the wars of the roses but he does not get there) 

A generational dust up between two neighbours who have more in common than they'd care to admit!

Longbows, underpants and well baked saints are the order of the day as one silly boy wrestles with 116 plus years of awfulness!

Tune into our regular show in two weeks time where they'll be just as much talking but way more explosions!

Mr Ritchie there’s something happening in 9th Century France!

VIKINGS!

There's many a Dane axe to be ground in the story of ROLLO THE WALKER...not to mention FEUDS, people falling in the water and HAIRCUTS worse than DEATH!

Join the exiled ROLLO and his extremely SILLY band of VIKINGS as they travel to FRANCE in search of riches and ADVENTURE...which another way of saying STEALING and murder...we remind you this is still supposed to be a show for families!

It's just that Vikings are horrible!

Next week the siege of Paris, the birth of Normandy and more people going 'ARGH' as they fall in the water await!
