  • The Rise & Fall of Sparta

    The Rise & Fall of Sparta
    Jul 3 2025

    Today, we trace the rise and fall of ancient Greece’s most formidable warrior society - Sparta. This society's militaristic culture and battlefield feats are the stuff of legend - but how much of its story is based on cold, hard fact?


    Joining us is Dr Andrew Bayliss, a professor of Greek History at the University of Birmingham. He separates the fact from the fiction, explaining how a brutal education system and unyielding discipline forged an elite military state, and eventually led to its downfall.

  • Pirates: Myths vs Reality

    Pirates: Myths vs Reality
    Jun 29 2025

    When it comes to our perception of pirates, Treasure Island has a lot to answer for. They didn't make their enemies walk the plank, they didn't keep parrots as pets, and they didn't bury their treasure. But that doesn't mean the golden age of piracy wasn't an era of swashbuckling rogues and sword fights on the high seas...


    In the first episode of our 'Pirates' mini-series, Dan explores the facts behind the fiction behind the likes of Blackbeard and Captain Kidd with Sophie Nibbs, the curator of the new Pirates exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.


    You can discover more about the exhibition and book tickets here.


    Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.

Fascinating glimpse of life in the kitchen

I've never listened to Betwixt the Sheets before, so this was a fine introduction. Georgina Landemare could have slipped between the cracks of history; just another woman slaving away in a kitchen, but BtS restores this ambitious, talented young professional to the pages of history. Georgina had a long, interesting life in the shadow of the Churchills, but her humour and ingenuity shines through.
