We are back, we are caffeinated and we have stories! This week, Fi tells us about some pretty horrific historical jobs. Claire regales us with the exploits of Grace O' Malley, bad ass pirate Queen of the sixteenth century. Snuggle up and enjoy. 

This week, Claire provides the historical context for the Irish Civil War with some local history thrown in for good measure. Fi describes some prehistoric creatures that will fuel your nightmares. Sorry. Listen for info on free merch and follow our new Instagram please.

We're baaaaack! This week, Fi tells us all about mad Mappae Mundi, medieval depictions of the earth with added monsters and Claire takes us through the legend and historicity of Robin Hood, with bonus Bryan Adams. 

Hi listeners! It's been a busy week but we are back. Claire talks about the War of the Roses. Are you #TeamYork or #TeamLancaster? She also talks about the much maligned Richard III and whether historical assessments of him are fair. Fi shares the origins and true meanings of some not-so-nice nursery rhymes. Enjoy! 

In this fun-filled episode, Fi tells us about the vengeance-filled exploits of Olga of Kiev, the OG Bride from KIll Bill but with, like, a lot more revenge. Claire fan-girls over the Voyager Space Probes and talks about Uranus. Cut out that giggling. 

Helllloooo! This week, Claire tells us about the fate of Hitler's dog, Blondi and discusses how the descendants of high-ranking Nazis dealt with their fathers' legacies and Fi tells us about a medieval dancing plague that is absolutely not as fun as it sounds. 
Warning: During Claire's story, there is mentions of suicide and child murder. 

Welcome back! This week, Fi gives us a gripping account of Abe Lincoln's near-death experience (with accents). Claire is recovering from vax no 2 but shares some examples of historical graffiti with us, with added bad trip advisor reviews. 

Welcome to episode 4! Claire pays tribute to one of history's greatest minds and tragedies, Alan Turing. Fi tells us about some chaotic ancient death sports, one of which is naked MMA. Please follow us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and leave a review. We love you. 
Note: We wanted to give a good taste of what the podcast will be like going forward with a few episodes in week one, so now we will be continuing with one episode a week. Thank you all for the support 💜

In this episode, Claire regales us with tales of historical executions and executioners. It's a bit grim; you'll love it. Fi tells us about an Arctic expedition that was really poorly planned. Like, really poorly. Enjoy! 

Welcome to episode 2! This time around, Fi shares the tale of a pirate with a very 'hearty' appetite and Claire tells us about some peculiar pets, including an eel with earrings. Yes, really.
