Hello everyonnnne!!!! Fi is back and is bringing some more Aussie drama, this time in the form of Ned Kelly, outlaw extraordinaire. Claire fangirls over Clodagh Finn, whose books she is currently reading which detail some truly amazing Irish women in history you've probably never heard of. It's giggly and chaotic and we only sing twice. 

This week a solo Claire reads a short story by Irish literary giant, Frank O' Connor. The story is set during the Irish War of Independence where two English soldiers are held prisoner by the IRA. When the soldiers and their Irish minders start to bond, conflict arises over what to do with them. 
Fi is absent for this episode but will return very soon. I missed her :( 

We drank a lot of coffee. How much coffee is too much? This much. Seriously. 
Claire talks about the North Sentinelese and why they need to be left alone. And also, they'll kill you. Fi tells us about the Dogger Bank Incident. Again, there are accents and again, we are sorry. 

Happy New Year! In this episode, Fi tells us the story of Ilya Ivanov, a mad scientist altogether. What would you call a chimp human hybrid? I don't think anything can beat 'bonobro' to be honest. 
Claire talks about movies. Lots of movies. Some historically accurate, some not so much. Enjoy everyone and don't forget to rate us pretty please. 

In this week's episode, Claire tells the story of a Finnish soldier who took so much meth amphetamine that... well, listen and you'll see. Fi tells us about a South Korean actress who was brought to Kim Jong Il's attention and that's never a good thing. 

Fi tells us all about Belfast's Sheila the elephant, who survived WWII. Claire talks us through the marriages of Henry VII. There are some pretty dramtic breakups. Merry Histmas! We love you. As a friend xxx

It's pretty self-explanatory. Claire watched 'The Last Samurai' lately so she talks all things Samurai. With added Ninjas. Fi tells us about Robert Liston, surgeon not so extraordinaire. 

Fi tells us about another failed expedition that included camels, Chinese gongs and bad accents. Claire recounts the tale of the Chicago Eight. We love you all. 

Claire goes a bit off the wall this week and tells us about the time a swimming rabbit attacked Jimmy Carter among other wild historical moments and Fi regales us with the story of Rasputin, possibly more of an OG mad lad than all of Claire's mad lads combined. We also have a filthy Mozart-composed round for you to enjoy. It's a crazy one! 

In today's episode, Fi tells us the story of Sultan Ibrahim and Claire talks us through the nuances of Hiberno-English. We had so much funnnnn.
