Mostly Unsung
The weekly comedy history podcast that brings you bitesize biographies of the extraordinary, eccentric, outrageous and occasionally ordinary lives that until now have gone mostly unsung... mostly. Join your hosts Annie and Andrea as they bring you stories that your history teacher never taught you!
If you like stuffy lectures then you're not going to be a fan, sorry! But if you are looking to hang out with two old friends who love story telling, a good laugh and forgotten figures from history then welcome!
Covering everything from scientists to Grandmothers, survivors of wars to eccentric millionaires, all via ghost stories, anecdotes and terrible impressions of Hollywood legend Tim Curry. Come and hang out, have a giggle and join us every Friday.

#9 A Woman on the Warpath & An Exceptional Introvert
The weekend is nearly upon us and that can mean only one thing, more Mostly Unsung!!! Join us for two new stories from history you might not have heard of and the usual helping of light-hearted nonsense!
This week Andrea is in the slums of Chicago, where you can change your name, rewrite your history and demand a guillotine! Remember, if you find yourself disappointed by the overall lack of dynamite belching in the episode, you have only the capitalist media to blame.
Stroll with Annie through the beautiful countryside of Nottinghamshire, if you stroll at night, and wear a disguise maybe no one will see you. "Someone might still spot me" you think? This weeks eccentric gentleman has the perfect solution....tunnels!
