Episode 133 - The Peasants' Revolt

Cutting through the Bull in the Post-Truth Apocalypse

A lapsed quasi-satanist, a self-proclaimed science buff (with only a GCSE grade B in Physics) and a drug-addled lunatic attempt to navigate the irradiated wastelands and dung-hills of ignorance that is the Post-Truth Apocalypse. A smorgasbord of colourful language, drunken ramblings and the occasional "fact". Fact. Hosted by Ben, Gaz and Mike. This week the gents discuss the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. They look at the reasons for the popular uprising, how close they came to changing the course of history forever, and the result it had upon the status quo at the time, plus the lasting legacy of Wat Tyler and his fellow revolutionaries. Also, the US navy invent and test a new 'death ray', NASA detect evidence of a paralell universe where time runs backwards, and scientists warn of an infestation of blood-sucking flies that target crotches to accompany the coming heatwave.
