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.
(We are not the pub in Bristol, but happy to hear music acts who wish to perform with us.)

The Centre of the Universe: How Copernicus changed the world
Send us your messages or topic ideas.
Nowadays it's a given that the earth sits orbiting the sun, but not always! For centuries, in fact you could say not that long ago, we thought the earth was the centre of the universe. I mean why not? We're God's chosen or something right? So to make this a reality lots of people came up with complicated systems to explain it, that didn't really work, then thankfully Copernicus came along and said you're doing it wrong. If you like circles, you'll love this one.
