  • Summary

  • History runneth over with obscure tales of heroics and villainy, gruesome battles, hilarious happenings and downright bizarre coincidences. Hosts and longtime pals Alex Deane and Bryan Cunningham will be your guides through this hidden history. Based on Deane’s bestselling book Lessons From History, you will meet the war veteran who lost an eye then amputated his own fingers, learn of Africa’s first black bishop, whose great-great granddaughter sacrificed herself to protect her people from Ebola, and be surprised by Abraham Lincoln’s duel with broadswords and the drunken British soldier who single-handedly conquered an enemy fort, and help us solve the mystery of who stole the still-missing Irish crown jewels. But you won’t just be along for the uproarious ride. Join Alex and Bryan as they imbibe the beverages of choice of the characters in their stories. And, contribute your own obscure tales which they will research and tell in future episodes, perhaps with you as the guest.

My favourite podcast

Alex and Bryan share their favourite stories from history. Alex has written Lessons From History, some of his many stories about how we can learn from moments in history. Bryan shares his knowledge of law and anecdotes from the USA, together they have some great discussions often with entertaining and informative guests. We can learn history and be enthralled by their lessons, but we can also learn from history and they always discuss how.
