  • Pauses are annoying

    The pauses that occur are too long and annoying. Maybe the pause is meant to be for effect, but they are too long such that I think it's stopped playing: and it doesn't really offer dramatic effect either IMO. Seems all the channels feed off of each other. same topics occur etc.

  • Wrong content

    The content for this episode is not the Peasants’ Revolt or the Brentwood Uprising. The content is about the debut of King Kong. Can you fix it? I was looking forward to the episode about the revolt.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ada Lovelace
Q: How was she able to pursue her scientific ambitions, despite society's constraints?
Her family's wealth and title gave her access to tutors and leading scientific thinkers, including Mary Somerville and Charles Babbage, despite the limited educational opportunities available to women.
Ada Lovelace
Q: So how did the circumstances of her parentage and upbringing shape her character?
Her parents' turbulent relationship and her mother's efforts to educate her shaped Lovelace's upbringing, encouraging her mathematical and scientific interests while distancing her from her father's poetic reputation.
Ötzi the Iceman
Q: What more might he have yet to tell us?
Researchers hope continued study of his remains, microbiome, and preserved samples will yield further insights into prehistoric life, health, and his death.
Ötzi the Iceman
Q: But just what is it that we have learned from Ötzi?
Research has revealed his Copper Age date, physical condition, possessions, possible activities and social position, and evidence about his final days and possible murder.
Sydney Opera House
Q: What innovations did engineers require to complete the ambitious structure?
The project used prefabrication, prestressed concrete, epoxy resin to join rib sections, and early computers for complex structural calculations.
