Episodes
38. Ancient Greece: What made the Spartans the greatest warriors of the ancient world?
18:23 | November 7th, 2020
We go back around 2,500 years to the time of the Ancient Greek Empire. But as we’re not experts on Ancient Greece – in fact, Dad’s poor knowledge of Ancient Greece has always been his Achilles’ elbow – we are joined by an expert guest. We discover why kids were taught to steal, and we explain why people run a marathon today. And the episode comes to a climax with the Spartans last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae – as depicted in the movie 300., and (kinda) Star Wars: Rogue One.
37: Why did the USA go to war in Vietnam? (And why didn’t they win?)
21:25 | October 3rd, 2020
Parents, don’t worry, this episode is completely safe from gore and death. The only thing you need to be concerned about is whether you can keep up with your kids as they gain an understanding of communism, dominoes and the causes of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War.You’ll need to listen carefully so you can play to win in the Gorillas vs. Guerrillas game!
36. Who started World War I?
16:51 | September 4th, 2020
We look at why each of the major countries joined in the war and why so many people thought going to war was a good idea. And some of those soldiers were kids – listen to see if you’re older than the youngest kids who fought in a world war!
35. How to make money
19:27 | August 3rd, 2020
We find out all about the first civilisations in history to invent money. And Ed Washington, from Australia’s greatest money-making mint, tells us how to make money!
34. The craziest soldier in history?
17:34 | July 4th, 2020
Alongside special guest presenter Annie Foley, we investigate the amazing life of a soldier who fought in three continents, from his teenage years through to his 60s.
32. Why were black Americans separated from white and how did things change?
19:05 | May 2nd, 2020
We see how great speeches and peaceful protest marchers can make big changes in the world, particularly in America in the 1950s and 1960s.
31. What was the most dangerous medieval weapon?
23:19 | Episode: 31 | April 4th, 2020
(This is NOT a gory episode!)
30. Ned Kelly v Billy the Kid: who wins?
22:37 | March 7th, 2020
WARNING – in this pod you will hear about gunfights and people getting shot and killed. It was all 150 years ago, but very young kids might not want to hear about it. Most of our episodes are for everyone, and we will return to a lighter topic next month, with something for kids of all ages.
