- The horrifying dark side of famous car manufacturer Henry Ford.

- What history can teach us about the disastrous, but amusing Fyre Festival of 2017.

(Spoiler: it’s all happened before - perhaps on an even more epic scale and the star of the show - who referred to himself as the long lost king of the middle Americas - was even more ridiculous and blatant than he was in 2017.)

- The “peaceful” motives of the British involvement in any number of European skirmishes from 1815 onwards.

- Why - for Dan - cracking jokes about the Scots is fair game.

(Hint: this is nothing to do with ruling the world - although if you were a king, you too would want to know its power!)

- Football’s ferociously combative past and the game’s abandoned siblings.

- Why the Rugby World Cup 2019 might be painful for its host nation (it’s got nothing to do with sport and everything to do with “barbarians”)

And so much more - both gone and still to come! Plus, there’s even a chance you might learn something:
