Its 1857 and there's reports of a beast stalking the East End...surely there can't be...A TIGER IN VICTORIAN LONDON?

A case for…The Police? The RSPCA? The Silly History Boys?*

The boys are on the trail of a tail, what a tale!

Is there really a Tiger on loose in Victorian London? What has it got to with Charles Jamrach and his pet shop where you can buy a leopard and still have change for Greggs?

Find out in this silly but true adventure from the silliest boys in history!

*Surely they’re the least suitable...

Episode 69 is here and it's a rum soaked, sword swinging, cannon blasting Pirate extravaganza! Join the Silly Boys as they return to the pirate port of Nassau alongside none other than Anne Bonny, amazingly voiced by the incredible Ashling Leyne of Lashing Rain Voiceovers!

The Silliest of Boys connected with history return once more for a classic saga built for flickering campfires!

It’s Beowulf baby!

The monster Grendel is loose in dark age Scandinavia and its up to the gravel voiced Prince of Gertland to leave his Warhammer and deal with him!

But behind every great monster is an overbearing Mother and this time she’s got a big sword!

This is the final instalment in the JORVIK Thing meets Silly History Boys Fact-ravaganza! In this episode we Silly Boys peek behind the cleansing facemask that is "Beauty by Baldr"; the best beauty salon in Asgard*

Join us as we exfoliate and peel back some of the other gods from Norse mythology; they may be lesser known, but they're certainly no less fun (except Njord, he's questionable).

Then, Lucas and Miranda talk about what these gods get up to normally (spoiler alert it's mainly hanging out in the background at parties while Odin, Thor, and Loki have an adventure!)

Listen and enjoy, and please consider leaving us a 5 star review on your chosen Podcast Platform

In our third collaboration we go scrumping for Norse Myth & Legend with Miranda & Lucas from That JORVIK Viking Thing

Ever wondered how those super attractive Norse Gods stay so youthful and supple? Well if you do can you tell us Silly Boys? We're one half-term thrashing from being sent to the glue factory to be turned into silly string. 

Why not rate and review us (and our Jorvik pals for that matter) on your chosen podcast platform.

Like Uncle BobBob for compliments, The Pear Bear for box damaged Warhammer, Bilbo for a Twix and Tombo for a good nights sleep, Thor goes Fishing! 

It's our second hot date with That Jorvik Viking Thing Podcast! 

Miranda and Lucas bought the tickets and we microwaved our own pop corn at home. 

Let's see what we catch. It was THIS BIG!!!

Come gather ye friends around your flickering campfires and listen, to tales of teamwork, shared effort and collaboration as we Silly Boys skip hand in hand with That JORVIK Viking Thing Podcast over the rainbow bridge.

In this episode we tell the story of Odin and the Mead of Poetry, and then Jorvik's own Lucas and Miranda will take you through the historical sources; like where does Worcester sauce really come from? Why is mayo the superior dollop and what is wrong with PearBear for not liking it?

Actually they're more likely to ask; Are you a consumer of Kvasir’s Blood or have you had the dung of the ancient eagle? Find out here!

It's that time of year dear listener! Christmas episoooooooode!!!

For your holiday history fix this year we're telling two tales of different festive traditions that have heavily influenced our annual celebrations...

Join Caesar and Mark Antony as they celebrate Saturnalia, a Roman festival that gave us presents, gambling and drinking whilst wearing silly hats (or a Tuesday at Pear Bear's house) then take a trip to Iceland to meet Gyrla the giant and her Yule lads who are... unusual.

Happy holidays dear listener!

Thanks, as ever, to...

Scott Buckley and his brilliant music

Zapsplat and their awesome zaps, splats and music

Lord Fastfingers for the intro music
