Millions of Parisians were Buried beneath the City
After a little heatwave inspired break we are back with an episode on a place where you can easily stay cool: the Paris Catacombs. They'll tell you it was a respectful and dignified burying of the dead, but really we can all tell that it was just a way of getting rid of an absolutely vast quantity of bones and bodies. How vast? Find out.

The Luddites had a Point
A discussion about scrambled eggs led to us having a think about the Luddites, whose name is now synonymous with anti-technology. But the Luddites were more complicated that, and this week we will explore the origins of the Luddites, how the government responded to them, and whether the Luddites maybe had a point that is relevant today.

People Craunched the Marmoset
I don't blame you for not knowing what the episode title means. This week Amelia is going to look at bad art at a few points in history, but the sort of things where it's so bad it's good. So we'll be looking at some bad artwork, some bad singing, and some truly awful translations.
