The Fall of Mowbray

Night fell… and gradually, everything within Bamburgh and the Malvoisin went quiet. Sure, there were the occasional patrols, and the occasional muffled voice as two people shared a moment, or simply tried to keep themselves awake while on watch… but for the most part, there was no sound except for that of the waves lapping […] The post 475 – The Fall of Mowbray first appeared on The British History Podcast.

Episode 535-The First Cracks Appear

The Axis retreat from the Don River was haphazard. Armies were lost as was much equipment. Army Group South would regroup and form another line, but it was much reduced and the Soviets were only getting stronger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

DUNG, DEATH & THE DEAD RETURNED

LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE! New dates being added! EPISODE REWIND: Step into the creaky time machine as we dig up some gloriously odd gems from the archive: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of the 1800s — When cities were drowning in poop, and people feared equine waste would bring about the downfall of civilization. Spoiler: It didn't. But it was a real pile of trouble. The Bretzius House of Horrors — During what was supposed to be a charming home renovation, the Bretzius family unearthed mummified cats, twisted occult artifacts, and one big reason to just rent. Was it witchcraft, folk magic, or just an extreme case of DIY gone wrong? Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery — One of the most haunted graveyards in America, where phantom farmers plow ghostly fields, glowing orbs float like confused fireflies, and spectral cars drive absolutely nowhere. These stories are so strange, you'll think we made them up. We didn’t. History just has a weird sense of humor. Listen now to this Box of Oddities rewind — vintage weirdness, zero manure smell. #BoxOfOddities #HauntedHistory #WeirdFacts #HorseManureCrisis #GhostStories #CursedRenovations #PodcastRewind #TrueWeird #OccultHistory #HauntedCemetery #OddlyFascinating Learn more about your ad choices.

Thutmose III & Hatshepsut: The New Kingdom Defined with Prof. Aidan Dodson

The new royal tomb, and how two 18th Dynasty rulers defined the "New Kingdom" as we know it. Prof. Aidan Dodson is a dedicated and prolific scholar, whose research covers many facets of ancient Egyptian history (and even WW1 warships!) His latest book, Thutmose III & Hatshepsut: Pharaohs of Egypt - Their Lives and Afterlives looks at how these two monarchs, and their followers, defined many of the aspects of "pharaonic culture" as we imagine it. Along the way, we also discuss the new royal tomb, its significance, and its connection to these famous figures. Prof. Aidan Dodson at Academia.edu and the University of Bristol. Book: Thutmose III and Hatshepsut, Pharaohs of Egypt at AUC Press. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Caffeine and Chronoportals

Get your live show Tickets and details HERE! Step into a timeline tangle and sip the strangest origin story ever brewed in this episode of The Box of Oddities. First, we explore the baffling time slips of Canevaro Avenue in Lima, Peru, where unsuspecting pedestrians report stepping into centuries-old realities, only to snap back to present day like glitchy NPCs in a haunted simulation. Is it a wrinkle in time or just an aggressive tourist trap? Then: coffee. You drink it, you love it, but did you know its discovery involved a hyperactive goat, a skeptical monk, and possibly divine intervention? Spoiler: it's the most chaotic beverage backstory in history. Get your brain weird and your mug ready—because we’re serving mystery, caffeine, and just enough existential dread to pair perfectly with your morning brew. Fun Facts from this episode: Carnavaro Avenue in Lima, Peru, is reportedly a location where people experience mysterious 'time slips' - momentary shifts into different time periods while walking down a seemingly ordinary street Multiple eyewitnesses have described vivid experiences of seeing the street transform, with people wearing clothing and experiencing environments from different historical eras, ranging from the 1940s to the 1970s Theories about these time slips include potential connections to ley lines, ancient indigenous beliefs about energy portals, and the area's rich historical background with Incan and pre-Incan cultural influences The coffee origin story traces back to Ethiopia, with a legendary account of a goatherd named Kaldi discovering coffee's stimulating effects when his goats became unusually energetic after eating coffee berries Coffee spread from Ethiopia and Yemen to become a global beverage, first through Islamic world coffee houses and later through European exploration and colonial expansion Brazil's entire coffee industry allegedly originated from a single coffee plant smuggled by a French naval officer in 1723, which became the ancestor of over 18 million coffee trees in the Caribbean, Central, and South America Coffee houses historically were not just places to drink, but community hubs for intellectual and political discourse, often viewed with suspicion by religious and political leaders The scientific and cultural understanding of time remains limited, with experiences like those on Carnavaro Avenue suggesting that our perception of time might be more flexible than currently understood #TimeSlips #WeirdHistory #CoffeeOrigin #BoxOfOddities #OddPod Learn more about your ad choices.
