117 - Why Do Girls Wear Pink and Boys Wear Blue? Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

This week's episode is in the form of a question - 'Why Do Girls Wear Pink and Boys Wear Blue?' Well, Matt has a bloody crack at answering this... he goes back to the 1800s to a time before the pink and blue dichotomy, all the way up to modern day, today! US President FDR gets a mention and historian and author Jo Paoletti's research is referenced a lot. It's an interesting time!

113 - Explorer, David Livingstone Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

David Livngstone you presume? Correct! One of the most famous people of the Victorian era, David Livingstone was a terrible missionary... But lucky for him he was a fantastic explorer. Travelling to Africa for three seperate epic adventures, he went to an incredible amount of places no other European person had ever been before him. He is also perhaps best remembered for his advocacy against slavery.

112 - Chesty Puller Dec 13, 2017

Show notes

This week we discuss the life of the most decorated Marine in US History, Lewis "Chesty" Puller! Yep, it's another badass! We get distracted a fair bit too, and there's a lot of US military jargon that we don't fully understand becuase A) We are Australian and B) we are podcasters and NOT in the military. Regardless, Chesty is a very impressive person!
