This week we travel to Burton to reflect on the strange tale of Thomas Darling, a young boy who found himself plagued by witches and demons. Was he really cursed? Was he just trying to get out of chores? You can be the judge, but either way you will hopefully learn a valuable lesson about farting on your elders. Featuring guest appearances from a Puritan Exorcist and Beelzebub, the lord of the flies! Guest Host: Ollie Green <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Thomas Darling - How do I keep getting into these 'scapes?

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
