Podcast Overview

Detz loves a history lecture, especially if it's his. Dice loves learning - almost as much as she likes getting in the way. So we're giving the world what it didn't know it needed: an odd couple talking about history, from the sublime to the ridiculous. Politics? Sure. Famous villains? Why not. Ancient or modern? Depends on the day. We follow our cravings, and when the mood strikes, we interview a guest "expert". If fluffy and flavourful is how you like your history, you're in the right place. (Credentials: four uni degrees between us. History and theatre feature prominently.)
