    The Clash of Cruise Liners: The RMS Carmania vs the SMS Cap Trafalgar

    Whoever thought that sticking cannons onto ocean liners was a good idea needs to be referred to in a psychiatric ward... but my god is the idea funny!With submarines causing havoc on shipping lanes and the sudden end to the rules of naval warfare the British and Germans began divising new ways to shoot at each other. One of these ideas involved converting ocean liners into battleships that could attack when no one would expect it. But in 1914 two of these ships, the RMS Carmania and the SMS C...

    The Hunt for Brunanburh: the battle that made England!

    The history of England is full of battles, but which has been referred to as the battle that made England?

It was the battle that marked the first time England would be a united kingdom under one banner. But despite it's significance, we don't know where the battle actually took place. So join me as I go thr...

    The Plurality of Worlds: John Wilkins and his 17th Century Mission to the Moon

    The idea that man would one day go to the moon is often perceived to be a modern concept. But in the 17th century one man published a book that not only detailed his own thoughts on what the moon was but also suggested a method on how we could travel to the moon and back. Although his conclusions are indeed very whacky the book itself is very interesting. This episode explores the contents of his book as well as looks at the man himself. Who was he? And why was he so interested in the moon?Mu...
