BONUS EPISODE: The Battle of Inkerman
Added 2022-10-22 09:34:49 +0000 UTCJoe is joined by Francis Horton to discuss the Battle of Inkerman. Taking place during the Crimean War, the Russian Empire launches a frontal assault against a fortified British and French position on top of a hill without any real planning and is defeated in the dumbest way possible.

2025-05-07 14:15:21 +0000 UTCThere's one thing people get wrong about Florence Nightingale. She's considered the founder of modern nursing, and was critical to founding principles of modern medicine, not so much because of methods, but because of STATISTICS. Nightingale was a great believer in observation of results. When she realised something worked, like hand hygiene and air circulation, she kept numbers and thus was able to change methods by proving they worked. She mightn't have known why washing hands and allowing air to circulate worked, but she could show it did work. I think people forget the statistics thing because it's boring.

2022-10-23 01:47:13 +0000 UTCI really want to know more about this cholera outbreak. I think it would very interesting if Liam, Shocks, and Francis did a local fuckup story and presented it to you. Or bring back Robert Evans and he tells you story.
