The Priory Podcast - Episode 9 - Sponsored by: Vanquish Clothing (www.thanktheuniverse.org)

Thanks for downloading / streaming the new episode of the Priory Podcast. This is a collection of ramblings from my time touring Norway over a period of 8 days.

The country is a beautiful place and well organised for the most part. I would definitely recommend it for those that are even thinking about going. The history of Norway throughout the ages from the Vikings and their polytheistic pagan beliefs, to their conversion to Christianity right up to the modern era makes for a fascinating and intriguing insight.

Not that any of that is discussed in this podcast, it's basically just me moaning about stuff.

I hope you enjoy.

Cheers

Thank you for downloading, streaming, listening to Episode 13 of The Priory Podcast. On this episode I was honoured to have Tony Gosling SKYPE in and share his vast well of knowledge about the shattered history of the world post World War 2. The theme of the Podcast was to discuss the assisted escape of Martin Bormann from war torn Berlin, where he was whisked away, allegedly to the UK then to Argentina, where the NAZI's accumulated wealth was used to reignite the power of the NAZI party and ideologies - only this time it would be enforced by the banking cartel rather than military might.

We reflect on how the European Union has similarities to the end goals of what the NAZI regime had in mind. 

Tony shows how well educated and researched he is by often scurrying down various rabbit holes which I could only sit back and admire.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did making it!

Godspeed! AC

On this episode I have the pleasure of Martin Summers, an investigative journalist, radio broadcaster and author, about the details of the Crimean War of 1853 - 1856. Famously quoted as "a war noted for it's notoriously incompetent international butchery". This war proved to be anything BUT necessary...

Fuelled by huge military egos, delusions of grandeur, mass unpreparedness, it was the first war that had constant up to date reporting as well as the first use of photography during a war.

Although no where near the scale of future wars, such as that of 1914-1918, it could be said that the fragility of the fickle national relationships following the fall out of this war, may have sown the seeds for the arguably the biggest social and militaristic disaster of recorded history, World War 1 - The Great War. Which of course, again paled in comparison to the death toll of World War 2, but none the less was a significant factor in the collapse of relations and subsequent out-break of the so called 'Good War'.

Martin and I look at the various stages of the Crimean War, from the posturing of Europe's elite powers at the time, the historical grievances that still ticked away under the surface, and how these events slowly unravelled into the disaster that was the Crimean War. Martin also expands on why this region, even to this day, plays such a pivotal role in keeping the balance of power in tact.

Thanks for downloading or streaming this new episode of The Priory Podcast. On this episode I had the pleasure of Philip Parker, historian and author of the superbly researched book; The Northmens' Fury, which chronicles the history of the Vikings in meticulous detail due to Philips dedication to research and study of historical documents ranging from the numerous Viking Sagas, Anglo-Saxon Chronicles and archeological evidence. On this episode Philip and I explore some of the most prominent parts of the Viking history. We discuss the emergence of the Vikings and the infamous attack on Lindisfarne in 793ad which pretty much brought the Vikings to the attention of the ruling elite in England. We discuss what life must have been like in the Viking homelands that inspired these adventures into the unknown and violent raids on foreign shores. Philip also takes us through history's most prominent Vikings and Viking Battles, mainly associated with attacks on the English shores, although interspersed with some fantastic 'inter-Viking' battles like that of Harald Bluetooth of Denmark versus Hakon the Good of Norway. We also talk about the more familiar names in Ragnar Lothbrok and Ivar The Boneless, names brought to the attention of the general public through the hit TV show; History Channels - Vikings. We also discuss the interesting facts behind the settlement of Iceland, which then leads into some quick fire questions around some of the more 'embellished' parts of Viking folklore such as the Berserkers, Shield Maidens and the Blood Eagle torture method. We close with a look at the Viking conversion to Christianity and potential correlation to the slow decline in Viking raids throughout Europe. To say we only scratched the surface in this 1 hour plus episode would be an understatement, but for anybody interested in a more researched history of the Vikings, then I can fully recommend Philips book as the perfect starting place.

Thanks for downloading or streaming this episode of the Priory Podcast. On this episode I had the pleasure of Drew Maloney.

Travelling round the UK as an engineer whilst at the same time being aware of a charitable but secretive organization known as the Freemasons, Drew would notice their signs and symbology occasionally appearing in old pubs and hotels dotted around the country. Strange and odd at first but then patterns began to emerge with possibly the most unusual being the actual names and pub signs aligning with ancient star constellations and signs of the zodiac.   Comparing old English pub signs with the anthropomorphised star constellations as depicted by Sidney Hall's Urania's Mirror (published in 1824) the similarities were striking and hard to pass off as coincidence. Drew began to research further.    The listener may find the accompanying ebook beneficial in connection with the podcast:   'The Spirit World – Pub Astrology' (Available for free download)   https://pubastrology.com/

Thanks for downloading or streaming this episode of the Priory Podcast. Today I ramble about the most random nonsense that will put you to sleep faster than Harold Shipman.

I talk about the latest Bronx gig in Leeds, BREXIT, being a bus wanker and the latest book I'm reading by William Blum; America's Greatest Export.

Probably of little or no interest to the majority of you to be honest, but it may interest one or two of you... Anyway I hope you enjoy your latest fix of my dulcet monotone voice...

Thanks for downloading or streaming this episode of the Priory Podcast. On this episode I ramble about history's fixation with anthropomorphic and therianthropic creatures. There have been a multitude of recorded documents, cave paintings, maps, drawings over a stretch of roughly 50,000 years depicting a plethora of hideous creatures that seem to combine the appearance of humans along with a multitude of other various animals. The Cynocephali are a particular branch of the Anthropomorphic Tree, in that they are a Therianthrope, Human Anatomy with a beasts head. In this instance, the head of a dog. The most most famous version being that of St. Christopher. The original format for this episode was to do it in an interview style format with a journalist who wrote an outstanding article in the Fortean Times a few years back. Unfortunately this didn't happen so you only have the pleasure of my dulcet tones...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the episode...

Finally, we give a shout out to the Catch Wrestling OG, Mr Billy Robinson (RIP), who would have been 79 on 18th of September.

I hope you enjoy!
