What if the dead could come back for one last interview?
Welcome to Sibyl Service. The comedy history podcast where the dead get to have their say. From Henry VIII to Cleopatra , Shakespeare to Alexander the Great, we bring history’s most fascinating characters back to life to discuss what they actually got up to.
Along the way, we explore ancient cities, medieval streets, Neolithic temples, art, philosophy, archaeology and literature.
Listen and find out what Henry VIII really thought about his six wives, why Diogenes lived in a barrel, and how you solve a problem like Marie Antoinette.
England's most infamous monarch.
The man who bravely battled the ‘happy wife, happy life’ mantra.
The man who sensibly sidelined Rome to create a new Church and get divorced.
The man who pride himself on a good bedding and a good beheading.
Yes, this is Henry 8th.
You think you know him, salacious listeners, but you do not.
Long before the portraits by Holbein showed an ageing monarch with an enormous waistline and jewels dripping from every sleeve, Henry was something different.
He was athletic.
Handsome.
Fluent in several languages.
A gifted musician.
A published theologian.
A prince hailed across Europe as the very image of Renaissance perfection.
So what happened?
How did Europe's brightest young ruler become one of history's most feared kings?
Well...
There's only one man who can answer that.

WAFFLE
WAFFLE takes on Belgian and all its bounty. 3 girls, two cities, one mission.
In the first half, we visit the the fine Art Museum of Ghent and hear an expert Art Historians discuss cutting edge Flemish and Dutch art, they will discuss Bruegel, Frans Hals to they will passionately defend Still Life. All warming up to the one of greatest masterpieces in Western art: the Ghent Altarpiece.
The second part is In Bruges. It may not be two Irish Assassins trying to make peace with themselves, but two British Artists share pretty philosophical thoughts in churches and in front of stunning art pieces by the GOAT Michelangelo and the lesser known yet arguably more impressive Hans Memling.

No Cap. Just Capital Punishment.
"And that's why they called me the Incorruptible…..”
Robespierre speaks proudly about his days in the public office during the French Revolution. No regrets, just major concerns about the feeble and weak minded men surrounding him.
Reincarnated from the 1780’s, things are looking a bit different for Robespierre. But he can certainly relate to the contradictory Tweets and irrational politics.
Robespierre in the hot seat.
The man who saw himself as a moral reformer, a fixer of corruption, a builder of a new Jerusalem. Instead, he signed away thousands of lives… and ultimately lost his own, executed by the people he once called his friends.
Wearing a red blood waist coat with a loose bandaged jaw, he is entering the studio….
