History Rage

We are joined for this episode by Yorkshire Historian and Engagement Officer for the British Association for Local History, Catherine Warr, and she is going to rant about the misplaced and mythical idea that the Wars of the Roses are anything to do with Yorkshire. They're not... and the reality is way more interesting.
You can follow Catherine on Twitter @HiddenYorkshire and you should check out her YouTube Channel - Yorkshire's Hidden Histories

This week Paul and Kyle welcome journalist, historian and author of "To War With The Walkers", Annabel Venning, and Annabel is getting royally annoyed by VE Day, attitudes to the Far East and too many overlooked conflicts.
In doing so she tells many of her family's personal stories and experiences. It's haunting, and eye-opening stuff.

This week we welcome Science Historian, Lecturer at Falmouth University and author of "Racing Green: How Motorsport Science can Save the World", Dr. Kit Chapman who joins us to rage that people in the Middle Ages knew the earth was spherical.
He talks to Paul and Kyle about how this was worked out over 2,000 years ago, how the church is not a barrier to science in Western Europe, how alchemy has already been achieved and a man that keeps 2,000 litres of his own urine in his cellar.
If you'd like to know more about this subject then why not buy a copy of "Racing Green" from the History Rage Bookshop . This helps Kit, us and independent booksellers.
