  • Resumen

  • Rogues Gallery Uncovered, the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
    True (ish) stories of history’s most fascinating and scandalous men and women.
    From Casanova and Mata Hari to Errol Flynn and Rasputin, it’s a history podcast with a difference. Join lovable rogue Simon Talbot every fortnight for bawdy, colourful tales of ‘Libertines, Lotharios and Complete Bastards.’ It’s funny, shocking, shameless and doesn’t mention Jane Austin once!

    It’s not suitable for kids or easily offended grownups.

    Grigori Rasputin, everyone's favourite irresistible, indestructible, mad monk is having a night on the town in Moscow.
    He's a controversial, mystic, healer and holy man but the Romanov family love him so he can get up to all sorts of rude, vodka fuelled high jinks.

    • Why did Tsarina Alexandra like him so much?
    • Why did Tsar Nicholas II dislike him?
    • Was Rasputin responsible for the Russian Revolution?
    • Just how big was it ?? ( you know what I’m talking about)

    It’s a possibly exaggerated tale that stretches from Siberia to St Petersburg and explores some of the myths surrounding one of Russian history's most infamous characters and his mysterious assassination.

    And it's all in episode 43 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.

    A necrophiliac in Paris!
    Join 18th-century England's most deviant politician ( and that's saying something) on a fun-packed mini-break to the French capital.
    With wit, cross-dresser and execution enthusiast George Selwyn.

    • Who was Robert Damiens?
    • How many horses does it take to pull a man apart?
    • Why did Georgian high society pay good money to sit in a field?
    • Is disguising yourself as a woman to watch an execution weird?

    It's a wince-inducing tale of scandal, gossip, Louis XV, The Hellfire Club, political satire and French capital punishment.

    Join the crowd at Tyburn and enjoy episode 42 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of Bad Behaviour in period costume.

Never Enough!!

This is by far the most criminally underrated podcast! Funny, informative and downright bizarre! The first person narrative style really draws you in and helps you see the world it describes! If you're a account at heart you will love this!!
