Hey all, this is just an introductory episode for new folk. 

Ever heard the Tale of the anarchist who attempted to kill time?The unkillable man eater who stalked a remote French region in the 1760s? What about the time a pioneering female reporter’ faked madness to bring down an insane asylum?

On Tales of History and Imagination I talk about  killer peers, pirate queens, the cult leader who fathered modern rocketry. The proto-hippy nudist who wrote a mega hit for Nat King Cole. Supposedly haunted islands, eccentric gangsters, supervillains, adventurers and a whole lot more besides… 

I am adding this episode zero at a time when the show has been running a year, and I’ve learned a bunch of new tricks. I recommend jumping in at the newest episodes and working back. 

Thank you for hitting play, I hope you’ll enjoy my show.
