Blind History

Blind History is a crash course in getting to know history’s greatest men and women - and by great we don’t always mean good. Hosted by Gareth Cliff and Anthony Mederer, this series will tell you what the history books sometimes leave out - the sordid stories, the less well-known details, some of the stuff they didn’t teach you at school. Each person will help you put a piece of the puzzle in place, and bring history to life.

Typical British anti-Catholic drivel.

Just like every other British history podcast. Oh, Hernan Cortez and those awful Spanish Catholics, putting and end to the Aztec empire of human sacrifice and skin suits. Hey, apart from all that human sacrifice, they weren’t so bad! Cortez had a handful of men and horses. He was only successful because the neighbors of the Aztecs feared and hated them. The culture of the Mexica, by the way, has hardly disappeared. Look at the celebration of the Day of the Dead. Look at the death worshipping cults of the various cartels, like the Santissima Muerte.

Feminist Definition

One of the narrators is confused as to what IS a feminist. Margaret Thatcher is the very definition of a feminist which is to live her life as she wanted, whatever that may be.
