    Dave and Martin attempt to tackle an event that's been dubbed "the biggest case of mass hysteria in history". A fair analysis as accusations fly in 17th century Massachusetts. Fear and ignorance take hold and bigotry reigns in the Salem Witch Trials.

    Join Martin & Dave as they waffle their way through one of the many supposed origins of the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. Was it a Royalist cannon in the English Civil war that was destroyed by Parliamentarian forces? Or was Humpty Dumpty a cruel jibe at an actual person?

    Join Dave & Martin as they explore the Great Emu War - when, in late 1932, the Australian military went to war with the Emu (yes really!) as large numbers of the birds ravaged crops and destroyed livelihoods in the farming communities of Western Australia. Contains a little bot of explicit language (we're sorry - we usually don't swear)
