This Christmas Eve why not get snuggly in front of a roaring fire and join us to listen to the tale of Thomas Wyatt Bagshawe. Despite his Antarctic scientific mission falling apart almost immediately he was young and naive enough to think he would have no problems spending a winter in one of the coldest places on earth with only one friend, a handful of tools and barely any condiments at all. A feat of human endurance that was as pointless as it was completely avoidable Thomas Wyatt Bagshawe proved beyond a doubt that you can always find some science to do if you look hard enough (though obviously not too hard to minimise the risk of snow blindness.)

Thomas Wyatt Bagshawe - I'm dreaming of the whitest Christmas

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.
