  • Witchcraft with Steven Veerapen

    Witchcraft with Steven Veerapen
    2025/10/17
    In 1562 the Witchcraft Act was passed in England during the reign of Elizabeth I. The Act stated that anyone who should "use, practise, or exercise any Witchcraft, Enchantment, Charm, or Sorcery, whereby any person shall happen to be killed or destroyed", was guilty of a felony without benefit of clergy, and was to be put to death. The Scottish Witchcraft Act followed a year later. Joining today is Steven Veerapen, author of Witches: A King’s Obsession as we explore the reign of James VI of Scotland and I of England and its attitude to so called witches. James wrote a book on witchcraft and oversaw a huge uptick in legal proceedings against women who made up 85% of those accused.

  • Body Snatching with History Rage

    Body Snatching with History Rage
    2025/10/14
    In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries there was huge demand among medical practitioners for corpses on which to practices and perform. With the demand so came the suppliers in the form of body snatchers. These were highly motivated and well organised groups who solved the supply problem by taking the freshly buried dead and selling them to desperate surgeons. Joining today is Paul Bavill from the History Rage podcast as discusses the practice, the economic rewards and the quantities. Paul joins me as part of the Podcast Show Live preparations at the Imperial War Museum on Saturday 1st November. Do get your tickets and I’ll see you there.

  • The U-Boat War with Roger Moorhouse

    The U-Boat War with Roger Moorhouse
    2025/10/10
    In October 1939 U-47 approached Scapa Flow in silence, as its crew prepared to attack. Their target were British warships at port in the deepwater natural harbour. The U Boat’s tubes were filled with water, and three torpedoes were fired, heading for HMS Royal Oak. This mission, so early in the war, was a huge success for the Kriegsmarine and was commented on by Winston Churchill in the House of Commons. So began the U-Boat war that would strike fear into both Churchill and the Allied High Command. Joining today is Roger Moorhouse, great friend of the show and the author of Wolfpack: Hitler’s U Boat War as we discuss the death rate the submariners faced, the threats from above and what life was like underwater. Coming up on 1st November I’ll be hosting a live recording at the Imperial War Museum’s Live Podcast show Links Wolfpack: Inside Hitler's U-Boat War IWM Live Roger on X Ollie Links Email me: History@aspectsofhistory.com Ollie on Twitter / X Learn more about your ad choices.
