    Episode 35: The Anti-Fascist Italian Art Forger that fooled America
    Oct 8 2026
    In September 1926, art expert Paul Arndt was shown a newly-unearthed Ancient Greek statue by an Italian dealer. It was an extraordinary piece. Its sale for a vast sum of money to an American museum, along with other pieces unearthed, would create excitement across America. The statues were fake. Throughout the 1920s, American interest in ancient art and sculpture exploded. As a result, American collectors and museums became a primary source of income for art dealers from across Europe. Inevitably, this also drew the attention of the darker side of the art world - including forgers. Today, we are going to talk about one of the most extraordinary acts of art fraud perpetrated during this era. One that would trigger a vicious war of words between experts across Europe and America. It would also make a colourful, Italian anti-fascist sculptor called Alceo Dossena one of the most infamous forgers in history. Guest Erin L. Thompson has a PhD in ancient Mediterranean art history as well as a law degree. She is now a professor of art crime at the City University of New York. Cats present None.

  • Episode 34: The last stand of HMS Glowworm and the invasion of Norway

    Episode 34: The last stand of HMS Glowworm and the invasion of Norway
    Oct 1 2026
    On the 8th of 1940, a lone British destroyer encountered part of the German invasion force bound for Norway. The heroic last stand of HMS Glowworm against overwhelming odds earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of the war. Incredibly, this award was granted based on the recommendation of the German Admiral he had fought. Both the Allies and Axis were eyeing up Norway for invasion. The events that would unfold that month would affect the entire course of the war. Against the backdrop of these events, a battle took place between HMS Glowworm and a heavy German cruiser - the Hipper - and her escorts. This battle remains one of the most remarkable naval engagements of the war, highlighting the skill of both navies, as well as incredible acts of maritime respect in the face of the shared dangers of the sea. It also stands as the only instance where the senior nominating officer, as required by the awards committee, was an enemy combatant. Guest Dr Alex Clarke, is a naval historian. He is the author of Tribals, Battles and Darings, and specialises in grand strategy, naval logistics and the projection of overseas power. He can also be found on Twitch and Youtube as dralexclarke Cats present Cecilia Useful links Tribals, Battles and Darings: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/tribals-battles-darings-the-genesis-of-the-modern-destroyer-alexander-clarke/22cc89bce03e017b Dr Alex on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2x09tU0GwAGiSbFPEhIwQ Do you like our podcast?

  • Episode 33: Charles De Gaulle and the birth of the 5th Republic

    Episode 33: Charles De Gaulle and the birth of the 5th Republic
    Sep 24 2026
    In 1940, Charles de Gaulle saved France. He called for resistance to the Nazi occupation from London. In 1958, with the French republic crumbling, he stepped forward to save France again. In English language history, it is de Gaulle’s defiance in WW2 and his role in the rise of the Free French that dominates discussion. In post war study, he is sometimes portrayed as an aloof figure and a man out of time, obsessed with restoring French glory over all else. This is an unfair portrait. Post war, de Gaulle was both loved and loathed. Churchill planned the route of his own funeral to include Waterloo station, precisely because he knew it would annoy de Gaulle who would be forced to attend. But during the late 1950s the French fourth Republic teetered on the edge of collapse. With the French military already moving to launch a coup d’etat, de Gaulle’s intervention would prove critical to the restoration of stability, and the birth of the Fifth Republic. He would go on, as president, to oversee many of the pillars of cultural, structural and international relations that still form the basis of France today. In this episode, we’re going to look at France’s near-coup and collapse, and the role of de Gaulle in its salvation. Guest Charles Devellennes is senior lecturer in political and social thought at the university of Kent. He’s a historian of political thought, having written his thesis on atheism in the radical enlightenment, as well as a political theorist and scholar of French politics. He has written three books, including ´The Macron regime’ in 2022, and is currently finishing his fourth book which deals with the institutional decline of the Fifth Republic: ‘The 18 Brumaire of Emmanuel Macron’.
