This time we go back to 1934 and examine when Hitler purged the Nazi 'party' quite literally, Bonnie and Clyde met their grizzly end and cats eyes became a feature of British roads thanks to Percy Shaw.

As up to date as we dare to go this time with 2020: the year of lockdown. We re-donned our facemasks and reminisced about the year that saw us stay indoors.

1918 was the selection this week as we recorded on 11th November.

Well ooops. There are many reasons that this episode, recorded way back in February to mark (partly) Black History Month in the US didn't make it to air - the main one is that Howarth didn't do it.Well we are back and here is a cracker! Looking at 1963 and the significance of the event of the Great Train Robbery, the idea of assassinations (in particular JFK) and Martin Luther King and his I Have A Dream Speech.Music: A few moments later by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comFollow u...

It all began with the forging of a great podcast episode at the request of a fan. Idea was given to the Anglo-Saxon notion of collective responsibility; immortal, wisest and fairest of all policing systems. Next the event, a great discovery of the Sutton Hoo boat burial. And finally, the person was Edith Pretty who gifted the finds to the race of Men, who above all else desire dirty old tat.
