The Gallimaufry
Two lovers of the past look at the weird, the wonderful and often overlooked bits of history. Gallimaufry means a confused jumble or collection of things and that basically sums us up. Crafted lovingly in a carpet shop basement. New episodes every month.

Political manoeuvring , experiments in eugenics, substance abuse...the third Olympiad of 1904 in St Louis really had it all. And we haven't even mentioned the bricklaying marathon runner getting a lift halfway through the race! Find out more about this bizarre and astounding event that forever etched itself onto the athletic history books, perhaps not necessarily for the right reasons....
