“The Great Herodotus once said: “If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.”
Despite this coming from the Father of History Himself, much of history is taught by lecturers with less flare than a Monkey on a bottle of Motrin, and unfortunately, History is thus often perceived to be dry, humourlous, and without application.
However, Half-Arsed History is a podcast that flips the proverbial finger to that dim-witted and dull view of history, and instead gives us colourful tales of political intrigue, genius, betrayal, madness, & mayhem. It’s chalk-full of unforgettable characters: some with ‘negotiable affections’, heroes with hearts of gold, and a fair few ruffians hell-bent on good ol’ fashioned murder.
The sweep and scale of his history spans from Antiquity to the Modern Age, and Riley expertly sheds a humorous light on some of the most heroic, villainous, and downright debauched tales over the past 2000 years. All while also sharing with us in a cherished favourite Aussie past-time … of absolutely sticking it to the British!
Half-Arsed History is a thrilling, thought-provoking, and memorable ride through some of history’s best stories. Riley Knight, what a legend. If you don’t listen in, you won’t believe what you’re missing.”
