Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality? Maybe not, or at least maybe not lately. But humans throughout our history have pondered questions like; why are we here, what is this all for, and where does it all come from? Perhaps a faith in a... more
Some men fight for sport, some men fight for their lives. Bill Richmond was man who fought for both. Fighting not only for the life he had, but for the better life he dreamed of. In back alleys, crowded pubs, and grand rings, Bill chained his destiny... more

Delicious slices of history superbly researched and delivered brilliantly.
A truly absorbing Horrible History for adults with curious and open minds as well as those who love a good story!
Great show. Funny and informative.
Will and Patrick are great. Really interesting and well told stories. This podcast keeps getting better and better.
It has it's good points but it falls down in several crucial areas.
Firstly the breadth of knowledge of the presenters is very limited, that is a problem when they are trying to talk with some degree of authority.
Secondly they never miss a chance to blame everything on the English, now they may well be right most of the time but for any other nation they repeatedly refuse to judge or give a view on other cultures when they have no such problem in saying nothing good comes out of England.
I love the history and how it is brought to life in every episode. Obviously well researched by personable presenters. I look forward to every episode!

A narrative history show that makes lesser-known figures and events feel vivid and relatable through engaging banter, clear storytelling, and well-researched context. Episodes balance archival detail with cultural and social angles—race, empire, warfare, exploration, and the human quirks behind famous episodes—often weaving in myths, modern implications, and surprising connections. Noteworthy is the duo's conversational chemistry, approachable explanations of complex history, and the way they spotlight overlooked stories, making it appealing to curious listeners who enjoy vivid storytelling without sacrificing depth.
This program stands out for its broad geographic span, mix of ancient to more recent tales, and a consistent focus on how hi... more
