On the 9th April 1806 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, a little boy was born. Few could have predicted the impact his work would have on the world. His name was Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
As a special treat in honour of Mr Brunel’s birthday, today I talk to Rob Bell, an engineer, podcaster and TV presenter. You may recognise him from Channel 5 documentaries on Britain’s Bridges, Ships, Lighthouses, Lost Battlefields and Railways and many more.
We’re going to discuss some of the founding fathers and mothers of Victorian Engineering... in other words, how it all began…

Many people know the Hundred Years’ War, and almost everyone in the English speaking world has heard of the Battle of Agincourt, but not many would be familiar with the The Battle of Baugé which was fought on the 22nd March 1421 between the English and the Franco-Scottish forces in the territory of Baugé in France.
Let’s ask Callum Watson more about this conflict.
Callum works at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn and who recently released a book on the topic with Pen & Sword Publishing.

Welcome to season SEVEN of our podcast!
Everybody knows Shakespeare.
However, perhaps not as well known to most is that beneath the surface, much of Shakespeare’s work surrounds ideas of gender and queerness.
Many of the plays are concerned with cross-dressing, gender fluidity, and same-sex friendships that many scholars have interpreted to be much more.
Drawing inspiration from homoerotic writers and subject matter of the time, We can assume that Shakespeare knew his audience were sexually diverse.
The question remains, was he or wasn’t he? The answer is more complicated than you think.
Today we welcome, Will Tosh, head of research at Shakespeare’s Globe, London.
Will is a scholar of early modern literature and culture, a dramaturg for Renaissance classics and new plays and an historical adviser for television and radio.
He is here to talk about his latest book, STRAIGHT ACTING: THE MANY QUEER LIVES OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, released by Sceptre Publishing.
And let me introduce our new guest host, Neil Cameron.
A RADA trained actor, Neil is no stranger to Shakespeare.
His stage credits include Hamlet in Hamlet, and more recently featured in Macbeth at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Couples that truly fit the trope of Friends to Lovers.
The title of the episode is Give Me Your Hand and Let Me All Your Fortunes Understand, meaning our couples today knew each other of old and had to get married for practical reasons, but they grew to love each other with time.
On the Royal Menu today we have:
The Fair Maid Joan of Kent & Edward, the Black Prince (elder son of Edward III), as well as Anne Neville & Richard III.
To help us understand these couples better, we've enlisted Sharon Bennett Connolly.

Please welcome James Tejani on the show.
We’re talking about his book A Machine to Move Ocean and Earth:
The Making of the Port of Los Angeles and America.
Published last year with WW Norton and Company.
Let’s find out more about the San Pedro Bay and how it transformed into one of the most imPORTant locations in the world. Pun intended.
What was the significance of this spot, why was it chosen, how did it develop? Which of America's famous sons were behind it?
By the end of the episode we’ll also find out if Edward Ord, a pivotal character in this book, was a grandson of Prince Regent, i.e. George IV.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves…

Welcome to our Royal Romance season.
On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Pairs that never got together.
The couples in question were considered by the powers that be, or they took a fancy to each other, but they either weren’t allowed to follow through with their plans, or fate decided otherwise.
We’re looking at four such couples today, Richard III & Isabella of Castile,
George I & Queen Anne, Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Queen Victoria,
And finally, Prince Eddy a.k.a. Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale & Empress Alexandra.
It is always curious to ponder how different history would be if certain events had developed differently.
To talk of these would-be couples, as well as touch upon the alternative history that we never got to know, we have historians Chris Riley and Catherine Curzon.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing with you our chats to various historians and we’ll be covering all the ways that Royals can come together, be it through arranged marriage, secret engagements or chance meetings.
On this episode, we’ll be talking about Royal Couples who faced revolutions and regime changes in their countries.
Did love survive the turmoil? Was the throne lost forever? If they didn’t love each other, could the outcome have been different?
We’re looking at three such couples today,
Charles I and Henrietta Maria, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and of course, Nicholas II and Alexandra.
To make sense of their romantic and political shenanigans, we have historians Mark Turnbull and Catherine Curzon.
