Well... that happened

Society EN ↓ 244 episoder

Smaller and interesting events through history. Odd stories which have been overlooked. Strange people with odd ambitions. Zealous warlords and errant priests. The gamut of humanity is here. Facts you may not have known, people you may not have heard of, all the minutiae which makes us what we are. And quite a lot of Stupid. Twice a week, every Monday and Friday. And Maybe Wednesday.

REPLAY - Beckford's Spire 07.10.2026 18:05

The Tower is a product of the transatlantic slave trade.

This wealth gave Beckford a life of privilege, and enabled him to collect and commission unique and influential artworks by some of Europe’s greatest ar...
