Rogues Gallery Uncovered
Rogues Gallery Uncovered, the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
True (ish) stories of history’s most fascinating and scandalous men and women.
From Casanova and Mata Hari to Errol Flynn and Rasputin, it’s a history podcast with a difference. Join lovable rogue Simon Talbot every fortnight for bawdy, colourful tales of ‘Libertines, Lotharios and Complete Bastards.’ It’s funny, shocking, shameless and doesn’t mention Jane Austin once!
It’s not suitable for kids or easily offended grownups.
