It's that time of year dear listener! Christmas episoooooooode!!!   For your holiday history fix this year we're telling two tales of different festive traditions that have heavily influenced our annual celebrations...   Join Caesar and Mark Antony as they celebrate Saturnalia, a Roman festival that gave us presents, gambling and drinking whilst wearing silly hats (or a Tuesday at Pear Bear's house) then take a trip to Iceland to meet Gyrla the giant and her Yule lads who are... unusual.   Happy holidays dear listener!   Thanks, as ever, to... Scott Buckley and his brilliant music Zapsplat and their awesome zaps, splats and music   Lord Fastfingers for the intro music And everyone else who has contributed to our silly show this year. We'll be back in 2023! Byeeeeeeee

Light that fuse! It's the silly boys (non) Explosive final chapter of The Gunpowder Plot!  Will Robert Catesby get that Catholic England he so badly craves? (no) Will Guido Fawkes be able to get the smell of smoke & meaty carnage out of his clothes? (no need to worry about that Guy - you won't be able to use your hands!) Will boar hunting be ruined for King James? (I don't know if he even hunted Boar. It was probably Deer or Conspiracy Theories) The future of England will turn on the contents of this show dear listener. Musket fire, chops and plops (plus the music!) by those dirty traitors over at ZapSplat Doug Maxwell's head is on a spike for the use of his track Renaissance Castle An unmarked grave is on offer for Lord Fast Fingers for the intro music and another lick or two Want to Tip us? Other than "be better" or "pay for your haircuts maaaaaan"? Then you can on Ko-Fi Silly History Boys Come say hi on Insta, Facebook & Twitter Please do rate and review. It helps us enormously!   

Never go back when the firework is lit! Unless it's for the second silly part of the Gunpowder plot When we left our plotters they were but four strong...or was it five? Confusing!  But never fear, the silly boys go full character overload! (And yes, Uncle BobBob still has loads to say) Covert glances across a crowded ballroom to ZapSplat for "Kerblammos!" and music Super secret hushed whispers for excellent music from big Scott Buckley Suspicious letters mail directly to Lord Fast Fingers for intro earworm Want to buy the Silly Boys a coffee? Why not coffee on Ko-Fi Silly History Boys (We might spend it on other stuff) 

Kerblam-OoOoOoOh listener! It's that time again when we on our island celebrate a bunch of folks not getting murdered by celebrating the torture and murder of a Guy by setting an effigy of him on fire! It's not crazy if you get to eat spiced cake I tells ya!  This is first of of Gunpowder three-parter, and you know what? It's quite interesting.  A mug of cider to ZapSplat for music and SFX A slice of parkin to Doug Maxwell for extra music.  Cheap fireworks a gogo to Lord Fast Fingers for our intro music.  Why not rate and review? Propel us up the podcast charts like a shonky explosive!
