Where was I? Oh yeah, HERACLES! 

Everyone's fave, yet troubled demigod has yet another labour. 

To steal the Golden Apples of the Hesperides.

The Lambton Wyrm a medieval monster tail...gets the Silly treatment!

The Silly History boys are ‘wyrm-ing’ their way back into your affections with a monstrous medieval legend…the Lambton Wyrm!

John Lambton is a little Geordie scamp who loves nothing better than going fishing with his best mate Gazza*.

UNTIL he fishes a DRAGON out of the river Weir...we blame water companies!

Cue an adventure of terrifying monsters, terrifying accents** and the terrifying notion of taking responsibility for your actions!***

Snuggle up listener! It's time to drift off to sleep with the relaxing tones of The Silly History Boys (well... Bilbo and Pear Bear) and the Enchanting music of Guild of Ambience once again!

This time we're doing Norse stories... which we'll probably end up making full blown episodes one day as they're great fun and full of adventure!

...but also very relaxing.

Thanks to Guild of Ambience for their track Enchanted Lands Vol 1.

You can't keep history imprisoned for long listener! Join the Silly Boys as they look at a couple of examples of historical great escapes... if you like it we might do more in the future!

Thanks as ever to zapsplat.com for SFX and music

Thanks to Scott Buckley for the amazing music

Thanks to Lord Fastfingers for the intro music

...and thanks to you listener! Now quick - leg it while the guards are distracted!!

No new episode this week folks - we've been running around being Vikings and whatnot for half term! Instead here's an info dump of where we are going to be performing live this year... that's nearly as good as an episode isn't it?

Oh, alright, it's not. Don't look at us like that. We'll be back as soon as we can with a fresh episode of squishy and silly history we promise!

Until then... k thanks bye!!!!

Thanks to ZapSplat as usual!

Let’s get this labour MOO-ving dear listener! No, it’s not the Cretan Bull again, but the famed red cattle of Geryon! (you remember them kids!)

We really need to stop those boys, they’re out of control…

Larks of course! The boys do a great job under trying circumstances. Those circumstances being ACTUAL SUBSTANCE to this episodes Myth.

We’ll meet Giants!

Rando God’s we probably won’t see again!

A Herdsmen and his dog (for those fans of Countryfile)

And so many demi-gods getting whacked you’d think they’re an endangered species.

Big thanks to ZapSplat for music and general screaming
