Regina with Kate Williams
"Why do female rulers often end up as the ‘last’ of their empires or kingdoms?" In studying queens from Cleopatra to Hawaii’s last monarch, Kate noticed a pattern: women often mark the final chapters of empires. Why? Because historically, societies have been quick to see women as threats—politically and physically. Whether it’s Cleopatra’s last stand, the Queen of Hawaii’s quiet resistance, or Catherine of Aragon’s tragic story, these women’s reigns come just before collapse or conquest. It’s like society is more comfortable removing power from women than sharing it — and once they’re out, they often never get it back.

The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s with Jason Burke - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Uncover the truth about revolutionaries who hijacked the 70s — and why they’re still shaping our world today. Have you ever wondered what fuels radicals to become what we call terrorists? Jason's new book, The Revolutionists, digs into the mindsets, characters, and global movements that blurred those lines in the 60s and 70s. In this episode we discuss the way revolutionary ideas—whether left-wing, right-wing, or religious—are often more fragmented than we realise. No monoliths here, just a wild mosaic of factions, motivations, and stories. These figures shaped today’s conflicts in ways many of us overlook—like Bin Laden’s rise from the chaos of that era.

Mythica with Emily Hauser - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Why are women such a central obsession in Greek myths, often portrayed as obstacles or prizes? In Homer’s world—myth and history blend, creating a paradox. Women are both silenced and mythologized, seen as prizes or obstacles, and yet, they're essential to the story’s very fabric. For example, Helen’s obsession drives the Trojan War, while women like Penelope symbolize loyalty and silence. But beneath these stories lies a complex reflection of ancient gender roles—where women are both disempowered and core to a hero’s glory. It’s a disturbing but fascinating mirror of real ancient life, showing us how myth preserves and distorts societal norms through time. These stories reveal that women were often seen as objects of desire, but also as symbols of power, victimization, or even rebellion—depending on the lens.

Weimar with Katja Hoyer - Chalke History Festival Special
In this episode with Katja Hoyer I learned how Weimar’s choice as the new republic’s capital wasn’t random; it was strategic. Small, cultural, and safe from political upheaval, it symbolized a fresh start. But beneath that veneer, extremism was already brewing — Nazis testing their power, violence simmering just beneath the surface. The town’s evolution shows how politics and culture collide, and how ordinary people’s lives are impacted during times of chaos — from factory workers to hotel owners. When history feels distant, these stories remind us how much is at stake in every decision. Worth thinking about.
