    Ep. 21 | Alice Before Wonderland

    This week's story is like the Dark Universe because there's just one part (rip.) Aanvik looks at the story of 'Alice in the Wonderland' and its creation. A simple story behind the not so simple  genre-defining story.

    Ep. 20 | war and piece

    This week's story is like a famous 90s musical group because it comes to you in five parts! Aanvik looks at a side of art that you have probably never thought about. We love talking about art that is made because of war. But what happens to all the pre-existing art during a war? How do you protect some of the most important yet brittlest pieces of paper in history?

    Ep. 18 | Mary, the Lamb, and the War it Started

    Ep. 18 | Mary, the Lamb, and the War it Started

    This week's story comes to you in five parts and  charts the surprisingly complicated story behind the most famous children's rhyme of all time: 'Mary and Her Little Lamb.' This is a story of lies, accusations, warring towns, technological marvels ( occasionally  a lamb) and is definitely not for children!

Absolutely brilliant

I don’t usually listen to podcasts but this podcast by Aanvik was the exception. They are short but very engaging and entertaining. The sound design is absolutely brilliant and the narration is crisp and clear.
