How to be a Renaissance Man Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

In the 15th Century, Leon Battista Alberti said "A man can do all things if he will". And thus the idea of The Renaissance Man (or Universal Man, or polymath) was born. But how to be a good one? And is it still possible to be one today? We take a look at The Book of the Courtier by Castiglione and see what advice he can offer us.

The Wenlock Games Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

It's 1850 in middle Britain, all around the rolling hills stood silent as the starter's gun rang out, the Olympic games had once again begun 15 hundred years after they were outlawed for being a little bit too pagan. While the Wenlock games would never go on to become the Olympics as we know them, without them our Olympic games may never have returned.

Hatshepsut - Forgotten Pharaoh of Egypt Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

Hatshepsut had a bit of an unusual job for a woman of ancient Egypt: she was Pharaoh - leading warriors, opening up trade, and being all but forgotten by history. Her mummy went missing from its tomb and her monuments were defaced. Was she a conniving, power-hungry leader who deserved to be destroyed? Or was it something else entirely?

Carrying The Banner - The Newsboys Strike of 1899 Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

"In 1899 the streets of New York echoed with the voices of Newsies" -Newsies, the movie

But then those voices went silent, at least when it came to selling The World and The Journal. The Newsies of New York were on strike and these underdogs were more than ready to take on the tycoon powerhouses of Pulitzer and Hearst.

Cheng Yi Sao - S-Tier Pirate Boss Babe Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

It's 1801 and a woman working in a floating brothel in Guangdong province marries a pirate. She becomes known as Cheng Yi Sao (which basically means Cheng Yi's Wife). But history doesn't just remember her as a woman who married a pirate. Instead, she is remembered as one of history's most successful pirates herself. And this is her story.

Huge thanks to my most helpful source for this episode: "One Woman's Rise to Power: Cheng I's Wife and the Pirates" by Dian Murray

The OK Corral - The Real Story of Wyatt Earp Jan 01, 2024

Show notes

Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday and the shoot out at the OK Corral. Where a bunch of Lawmen finally take down the vicious Clanton Gang that's the story, it's also one of the best movies ever made but what really happened, The lines between good and evil were not so clear, it didn't even happen at the OK Corral which I feel is a detail you'd get right.
