A Nice Cup Of Histortea

Episode 5 - Lest We Forget

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/208911/open_sms] This Armistice Day we have chosen to mark the day by speaking about one of the reasons it is so important to look back and remember, to try and prevent history from repeating itself. Together we go through a brief overview of the lead up to and the main events of the Second World War from 1939-1945.  And to bring a little hope back to the world, we end the episode with a tale of survival.  To those who have given their lives for our freedom in conflicts past and present, and those who continue to fight - thank you.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/208911/open_sms] This week as the potentially penultimate episode of Spooktober we dive into all things Werewolves. What are they? How do you become one? How do you spot one? How do you stop one? Join us as we ask these questions and many more. In this week's ridiculous death we look at what to do if you think your former miserable mayor has come back to terrorise the town as a werewolf. Hint, it involves dress-up.
