    #54 - Tararre - The French Consumer

    We’re back! After taking a bit off to live our best lives we are back with another episode. I’m sure you remember the greatest episode we’ve ever done on this podcast. It was the one that Carl with K did about the Frenchman Michael Lotito. It was so good in fact, that the professor himself (C**T!) decided to copy this idea and do a story about another Frenchman with a severe eating disorder. And this guy is much worse.

    #53 - The Assassination of Dong Zhuo Part 2 - Lu Bu Fo You

    Let’s wrap up this story about dynasty warriors shall we? We don’t want the Sturge throwing his life away to relive his first love in his mom’s basement. We need him focused on his research. Please follow, share, like, and subscribe. Thank you to all who listen.

    #51 - Michel Lotito “Mr. Eat-All”

    With the professor still enjoying his 50th episode vacation celebration, we needed another sub. Luckily this week we were able to track down a much better looking substitute than the last one. In this episode Carl with a K will be telling us the story about a French man whose claim to fame was publicly eating objects and materials that should never be ingested. From glass to nails to full bicycles, Michel Lotito monetized the disorder known as pica. Please like, follow, share, and leave us a rating. Thank you to all who listen.

    #50 - The Halifax Explosion

    In order to celebrate our 50th episode, Professor Sturgeon took the week off and we had to find a substitute teacher. Unfortunately there’s a shortage so we had to ask Jordan, even though legally he can’t be within 500 yards of a school. In this episode we hear about one of those times no one communicates, and a series of bad decisions leads to complete disaster. The Halifax explosion is the largest non nuclear explosion on record. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride. Please follow our instagram @latenighthistorywiththesturge Like, subscribe, share, and follow. Thank you to all who listen.

    #48 - The Jersey Shore Shark Attacks

    In this week’s episode we’re covering the story that most believe inspired the story ‘Jaws’. Although the author of Jaws claims this is not the case. So grab an ore, channel your inner east coaster, appreciate your legs, and decide for yourself.

    #47 - The First Boer War

    This week’s episode is a bit of a sequel to our last episode. Again taking place in South Africa, we will be discussing another British war, and another British loss. This time at the hand of the Boers. Equipped with an army of teenagers and senior citizens, the Boers, as Jordan put it, fist the British elite forces.
