We got out of that margin of undergrowth, which springs up
quickly when light is let into the woods, as it was there through the cutting of the
track, and found ourselves on a bare floor where the trunks of arborescent laurels
grew so thickly together that our view ahead was restricted to a few yards. We
were in the forest.

Eight bells! Presently I also must go and pretend to sleep. The surgeon’s last
cheery comment on the cosmic scheme remains but as a wry smile on our faces.
We grope in our minds desperately for a topic to keep the talk afloat. There goes
one bell!

“Decr. 27. Distance run for past 24 hours to midday 219. Total distance 1177
miles. Fine weather. Glass rising.”
Have you ever heard of the monotony of a long voyage? The same sky you
know, the same waters, the same deck; and now I can see it should be added, the
same old self, dismayed by the contemplation of its features daily, week after
week, within that spacious empty hall, where is no escape from the bright stare
overhead which reveals your baldness and blemishes without ruth. You get found
out. You want to mix with the mob again, to get lost in the sameness of your
fellows. He who goes travelling should leave his self at home, or as much of it as
is not wanted on the voyage. It is surprising to find how little you want of
yourself. The ideal traveller would venture out merely as a disembodied thought,
or, at most, as an eye.

Anne Frank is one of the world’s most famous writers, yet she didn’t live long enough to see her work published. At the age of thirteen, Anne was a normal teenager, who poured her heart into a diary. But what made her diary different, was that she created within its pages a snapshot of the darkest events of World War Two, detailing the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands that forced her family to hide in a secret annex. But what do we know about the real life of this bubbly young girl? How did her precious diary survive the war? And what about the people who protected - and betrayed her? This is a Short History Of Anne Frank.  A Noiser Production, written by Jo Furniss. With thanks to Karen Bartlett, a journalist and author of The Diary That Changed the World.

Throughout their centuries-long dynasty, the Romanovs oversaw the transformation of Russia from a fragmented medieval state, into a vast empire. Despite their power though, the period of the Romanovs was plagued by violence, assassinations, and the heavy hand of autocratic rule. Then, in 1917, the course of Russian history took an irreversible turn, and the fate of the Romanovs was changed forever.  So what do we know of the lives of the Romanov family? Was it possible for monarchs such as Catherine the Great to balance Enlightenment ideals with absolute power? And did any of the family survive the infamous assassination of 1918?  This is a Short History Of The Romanovs. A Noiser production, written by Nicola Rayner. With thanks to Russell E. Martin, Distinguished Professor of History at Westminster College, Pennsylvania, and author of The Tsar’s Happy Occasion: Ritual and Dynasty in the Weddings of Russia’s Rulers.

The Anglo-Saxon period, also known as the ‘Dark Ages’ stretched from the withdrawal of Roman forces in 410 AD to the conquest of England by William of Normandy in 1066. The period is remembered by the legends that emerged from it, such as the tales of Beowulf and King Arthur, but it was also a time populated by very real historical figures: Alfred the Great, King Cnut, and Harold Godwinson.  So who were these people who came to the island of Great Britain in the chaotic aftermath of Roman withdrawal? What happened to the native population they displaced? And how did the Anglo-Saxon period shape England as we know it today? This is a Short History Of The Anglo-Saxons. A Noiser production, written by EmmieRose Price-Goodfellow.
