Have you ever spent hours looking for something you simply lost? How about a hundred years? How about looking for a missing airplane? Or a vanished civilization? Every other Monday, Gone searches for everything lost. From D. B. Cooper to the Holy Grail, the Etruscan language to early Russian cosmonauts; if it disappeared, we’re looking. After all, just because something is gone, doesn’t mean it can’t be found. Gone is a Spotify Original from Parcast.

History of the Great War is a weekly podcast that will cover the First World War that occurred from 1914 and 1918. Every week we will be discussing the events that occurred exactly 100 years ago.

America’s history, distorted. A nation built on stories – some true, some rewritten, some entirely false.
For centuries, America has wrestled with the truth—shaping, distorting, and, at times, outright fabricating it to fit political agendas, fuel wars, and create heroes. But in the digital age, where misinformation spreads faster than ever, the very concept of truth itself is unraveling. Post-Truth (formerly Hoax) is a deep dive into the history of deception in America, from the founding myths that shaped the nation to the modern forces that have turned fact into fiction. Each episode dissects a moment in history where the signal was lost, truth was distorted, and reality became negotiable.

Stephen Fry’s 7 Deady Sins – I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.
