    August 24th 2026 - Gwent's Last King: Brochfael and the Shadow of Mercia
    2026/08/24
    Step into ninth-century Wales with Brochfael ap Meurig, the joint king of Gwent who ruled alongside his brother Ffernfael while their cousin Hywel ap Rhys held the higher throne of Glywysing. Facing the aggressive dominion of Mercia under Æthelred, Brochfael and his fellow Welsh kings made the fateful choice to submit to Alfred the Great of Wessex for protection. Along the way we explore surviving charters, disputes with Bishop Cyfeilliog, and how this line of Gwent kings ultimately gave way to Owain ap Hywel. Tune in to uncover this overlooked corner of early medieval Welsh history. Source article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brochfael_ap_Meurig

    August 22nd 2026 - Edmond the Dinosaur Mummy: Skin, Sand, and a Sudden Flood
    2026/08/22
    Meet Edmond: a remarkably preserved Edmontosaurus annectens fossil, nicknamed the Senckenberg mummy, dug up in 1910 by fossil hunter Charles H. Sternberg and his sons in Wyoming's late Maastrichtian Lance Formation. Encased in skin impressions and even a mitten-like wrap around its fingers, this duck-billed dinosaur mummy once fueled bizarre theories about aquatic hadrosaurs before science set the record straight. We'll dig into how a drought, a flood, and a bacterial biofilm conspired to freeze this creature in time just before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction reshaped the planet. Tune in to unravel the strange science behind one of paleontology's best-preserved dinosaur mummies. Source article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmontosaurus_mummy_SMF_R_4036
