This week we take a look back following the recent General Election in Britain at Women's fight for the right to vote equal to men, not to mention the benefits gained for men as well.

And in our ridiculous death we see why dreams and reality should really be kept separate.

Hello dear listeners! We are back after a long hiatus with a return to our roots, talking about the Tudors, in particular Henry VIII. In this first of a two-parter we look at the early life and early reign of one of England, and maybe Europe's most iconic monarchs, on the anniversary of his Coronation, no less!

And in this week's ridiculous death we look at what happens when you're minding your business in an English country garden.

After yet another impromptu hiatus, we are back with another episode of historical storytelling (and an apology for our absence). This time we discuss the story of Rapunzel. Beloved fairytale, or true story?

And in this week's ridiculous death we discover why keeping a little bit of your ex-partner with you should be kept metaphorical.
