Strap in for another fun filled and hilarious episode of your favourite history Podcast! History stories you never learnt in school alongside the usual nonsense about transport in the eighties, how not to accidentally work in mental health and what EXACTLY is a burglar?On this fitness fuelled episode, you can jog onto the soccer pitch and join our sports phobic friends as Annie tells us about a woman who played for a team so great, did the Football Association change the rules to stop their wave of success? Andrea gets very upset and shouts about the patriarchy, but what's new?!Then Andrea is off on a nice walk... A very long walk that lasts about fifteen years, but don't worry there are always roadside inns if you need a break, and the monotony of hiking can be broken with an added dash of true crime! If you think running a con artist game is new  think again, 18th Century Europe has met it's match!Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Ernihttps://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/who-was-barbara-erni-grifterhttps://www.executedtoday.com/2015/02/26/1785-barbara-erni-the-golden-boos/Annie used these sources:https://nationalfootballmuseum.com/halloffame/lily-parr/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55884099Where you can find us:https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/https://www.tiktok.com/@[email protected] you next Wednesday!
