I read and loved SC Gwynne's book on the R101 disaster a few weeks ago. I knew very little about airships before I picked it up but a century ago many considered them the future for long distance air travel. An episode on @tttpodcast_ is incoming with a nice little primer here.
This was a real thrill. I interviewed Lady Hale, the former President of the Supreme Court, for @tttpodcast_. She's a great history enthusiast and a c17th fan. Her year, though, was 1925 - when three vital pieces of legislation passed through Parliament.

It's 1885. Sigmund Freud takes cocaine, William James goes for the nitrous oxide and Robert Louis Stevenson writes the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Loved recording this episode of @tttpodcast_ with @MikeJayNet

Here is a painting full of intrigue. You can just make out Petrarch's ghostly outline in the top left.
"Guy de Chauliac bandages the leg of Pope Clement VI at Avignon, while Petrarch, his enemy, jealous of his influence, watches him. c. 1348" (Wellcome Collection)
