Welcome to Mostly Unsung, the weekly, comedy history podcast that brings you not one but TWO bitesize biographies every week!Join Annie and Andrea, two old friend huddled in a blanket fort somewhere in England, as they unravel the stories your history teacher never taught you.This week on Mostly Unsung Andrea is in Australia.Tensions are running high between British settlers and the local Bunuba tribe, lands are getting destroyed, sacred places defiled and the police present an ever going threat. Until one young man named Jandamarra is forced to choose a side. A fascinating and bloody period of Australian history ensues.Then Annie is back with the English History books. Brighton in the Georgian Era was the place to see and be seen. Strolling Dandies walked the Steine and one young man went to new and eccentric lengths to express himself. Henry Cope gained the nickname The Green Man for his eccentric way of life. But rigorous study of the law combined with heartbreak led to a tragic end.For this episode Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jandamarrahttps://ia.anu.edu.au/biography/jandamarra-8822https://www.kimberleyaustralia.com/story-of-jandamarra.htmlhttps://bunuba.com/For this episode Annie used these sources:https://georgianera.wordpress.com/2017/01/10/the-green-man-of-brighton-henry-cope/https://www.joannemajor.com/post/the-green-man-of-brighton-or-the-bath-bugaboWhere you can find us:https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/https://www.tiktok.com/@[email protected] you next Wednesday!
