Dave reports on the many marriages of King Henry VIII, a man so determined to have a son that he literally changes his whole country's religion to allow him to remarry. Some wives will be divorced and shunned; others will not be as lucky and lose their heads. So does he ever get a son? And if not, it's not like his daughters could ever become Queen... or could they?  Twitter:  @DoGoOnPod...

William Shakespeare - sure we're taught that he wrote some famous plays and poetry, but did he really write them? Do we know what he looked like, and how many words did he create out of thin air (thin air is one of the phrases he coined)? Dave will try and answer these questions, Jess's cough has now become a husky laugh and Matt will do some accents - some he has control of, others not so much.&n...

Dave has been put on a one week ban, so we brought in our good buddy, Aunty Donna's Broden Kelly! Bro is a bit of plane nerd so he came in to chat to Matt and Jess about Planes (and the story of flight 32 sometimes referred to as Titanic in the Sky...)  to be honest we got very distracted and talked about planes for about 10 minutes and talk shit for the rest of the time. It's very loose...
