It's our April Fools day episode! (A day late but the Friday scheduling MUST be maintained) So we are telling a tale that starts in Germany and doesn't even have a human protagonist. Meet Oscar, a cat forced to sea who was going to make sure everyone knew how upset it made him. He was a true agent of chaos who arguably had more of an impact on WWII than entire battalions of soldiers. Guest Host: Jack Heathcote PLUS BONUS CAT STORIES AT THE END!<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Unsinkable Sam - Hydrophilic Hairball Causes Havoc!

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.
