    Episode 39: How Do Humans Invent Monsters?
    Nov 5 2026
    People define what they mean by human by defining where human ends. On this episode, we’re going to explore the history of humans and monsters. When exploring the history of monsters, it’s easy to see them as a literary or folk construct. Yet to truly understand the importance of monsters in the history of humanity, one must look at them through the window of how humans see themselves. As the author Terry Pratchett once wrote:"It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? " Guest Dr. Surekha Davies is a British historian of science, speaker, historical-monster consultant. She is the author of Humans: A Monstrous History (University of California Press, 2025), one of History Today’s “Best Books of the Year 2025,” and the prizewinning Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human: New Worlds, Maps and Monsters (Cambridge University Press). Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Smithsonian Magazine, Foreign Policy, the Times Literary Supplement, Nature, Science, Aeon, Reactor, and elsewhere. She has worked as a history professor and a British Library Map Library curator. She now writes, speaks, and consults on topics. This includes the categories of human and monster in science, the arts, and society; knowledge and media revolutions; and the age of European exploration. She writes a free newsletter, Strange and Wondrous: Notes from a Science Historian. Cats present Cecilia Do you like our podcast? Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!

  • Episode 38: Did One Telegram Bring America into the Great War?

    Episode 38: Did One Telegram Bring America into the Great War?
    Oct 29 2026
    In January 1917, as war raged across the globe, only one major power remained neutral: the United States. Having swayed between pro- and anti-German sentiment since 1914, it was recognised by most that American involvement could decide the outcome of the war. It was with that knowledge that the German government sent a telegram that would, just perhaps, seal its fate. The Zimmermann Telegram was an offer to Mexico. If the United States entered the war, Germany would provide money and support for Mexico to open a front against the US and reconquer its lost territory in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. With Britain having cut Germany’s transatlantic cables in 1914, the message was sent through the only route available, the United States’ own diplomatic network. What Germany didn’t know was that, in a small office in the Admiralty, the codebreakers of Room 40 were reading both German and American traffic. Within hours, Dilly Knox, Nigel de Grey and William Montgomery had uncovered the telegram’s contents. The challenge for Room 40’s ruthless chief, Admiral “Blinker” Hall, was how to put it into American hands without revealing that Britain had been reading their mail all along. In this crossover episode with the Not So Quiet on the Western Front podcast, we explore the story behind the Zimmermann Telegram, the spycraft that brought it to light, and whether it really was the moment that brought America into the First World War. Guest Dan Hill is a military historian, battlefield guide and co-host of the Not So Quiet on the Western Front podcast, part of the Battle Guide Network.

  • Episode 37: Milton Keynes: The Future that Could Have Been

    Episode 37: Milton Keynes: The Future that Could Have Been
    Oct 22 2026
    In post-war Britain, the drive to build new housing and a better world led to a number of plans focused on creating modern towns. The boldest and most visionary of these was to be Milton Keynes, a city from nothing. Today, Milton Keynes is either famous, or infamous, depending on your perspective on its design. But what’s not in doubt was that the process that led to its creation was unique. A story filled with challenges its architects, planners and landscapers had to overcome. Guest John Grindrod is a social historian of modern places. He runs the podcast Monstrosities Mon Amour and has written books including Tales of the Suburbs: LGBTQ+ Lives Behind Net Curtains and Concretopia: A Journey Around the Rebuilding of Postwar Britain.
