About Historycal: Words that Shaped the World

Quickfire history in history’s own words, Historycal is the podcast for anyone who’s ever marvelled at the stories that shape us. From the earliest Cuneiform to the crooning of Elvis, from Rock Art to the Model T Ford, Historycal is an exuberant jaunt through the words people have spoken, sung, or scribbled down, and the unexpected ways in which they echo through our world.

   EP 039: 221B BAKER STREET

   What was, unbelievably, even more exciting than the first Glenfiddich single malt Scotch, or a man circumnavigating the world on a Penny Farthing? In this episode, we're talking about deerstalkers, magnifying glasses, and the one thing that really got the Victorians to talk about their feelings.

   EP 038: THE MONARCH OF MONTGOMERY STREET

   What do you do when there's more rice than sauce, nobody remembers your birthday, and you're fed up with the governance of a nation? If you aren't naming yourself King, you're doing it wrong. In this episode we're spending time with Norton I, the first Emperor of the United States.

   EP 037: WHEN TIGERS SMOKED PIPES

   What came before K-Pop, Squid Game, and politicians dancing to Gangnam style? If you aren't picturing a tiger in a smoking jacket, listen up. Today, we've got cobblers, Emperors, and Korean Boy Bands - although, thankfully, not all in the same place.
