Episodes

  1. Needs more Atrocities

    The Spooky Goth Wife has taken over folks and boy is she angry, warning this episode is a spoiler episode for Stranger Things final series so I give you fair warning.

  2. Rants, thousands of them

    I was going to say we're back baby but it's far to cliché and American sounding. So in stead I shall say "right then chaps and chapesses we have returned with a new ramble and rant and it is about the best Christmas movie ever, no not a muppet Christmas carol but the great and wonderful 1964...

  3. Orc Rant.

    Quick rant about fantasy races and how they are represented. The SGW isn't in this one as she's at work and I'm literally just sat at my painting desk recording this stuff.

  4. Wargaming Ha! What is it good for?

    How many times can one angry man fit the word granularization or granular in to a very much one sided rant. This one is very much a salty grognard moaning cast about wargames and why one of my greatest and oldest hobby and passion drives me completely insane.

  5. Rings of Power S2 - ....Oh God

    The Angry History Chef discusses the latest season of Rings of Power, what gave him goosebumps and what needs to get in the bin. We also tangent off into the world of 40k announcements and natty knitwear

  6. part 2 viewing

    The follow on from part 1 of my viewing, again the views are mine and yes their is swearing and random talk while we view the episodes. these really aren't safe for work.

  7. Rings of power live viewing.

    Rings of power, these episodes are unflinching and unfiltered in any way shape or form. The views are mine alone and these reviews of the first few epsiodes are not a serious review but an at moment of viewing reaction.

  8. Lads Lads Lads (viking edition.)

    Would Guthrum like a 18 to 30's holiday and the dreaded wheelbarrow appears again. Welcome to an actual talk about vikings and boy is it madness.

  9. Alfred is great and why AC valhalla should get in the bin

    So I broke the Spooky goth wife by talking about Bishop Asser and the House of Cerdic and why the Ac valhalla really drives me up the wall. I also get poetic at times for some reason.

  10. Not hot by human standards ( a Silmarillion Q and A)

    Some one ( looking at you Charlotte) asked for my view of Tolkien's first age of middle earth. We tried but I promise I will do a proper in depth talk that will likely last a couple of hours.

  11. Succession is just a rip off of the Plantagenets

    (SGW here, I would like to say I have now watched ALL of Succession and it is very, very good) Through the explanation of the Succession episodes she was watching, the Angry History Chef draws parallels between the Plantagenet family and the Roys

  12. 14th century ramble

    It's long overdue and weirdly odd but were back and now we're starting out with the my second favourite medieval century

  13. Mop wrangling 101 (part1)

    This episode is all about dealing with mop's or as the none reenactor will soon learn members of the public. For first time reenactors this can be a daunting and scary thing particularly if you're new to the whole dealing with mops at show situation. Me and the spooky goth wife in this first part...

  14. What you Tolkien About?

    After a long hiatus and a hell of a lot of personal life getting in the way we have returned at last to fill your ears with my mad cap ramblings about all sorts of subjects and this first new episode hopefully shall bring much merriment. So to the contents of the episode, me and the Spooky Goth...

  15. The Rome Ramble

    Hellio history fans, this week I tried to talk with the SGW about rome from a social and political view and the amazing and wonderful mess that it really was. Unfortunately the political aspects overcame the spooky goth wife and we digress a lot throughout the episode. So we will have to try and…

  16. The Great Greek Ramble

    Hello dear listeners, first off we would just like to apologise about the big delays with posts both public and patreon based. Hopefully that hiatus should now be over and this great greek ramble is the first of a new wave of episodes to get the ball rolling as we hit the new year. Me and the...

  17. Lest we forget

    This episode me and the SGW talk about the first world war. This I'm afraid isn't our normal light hearted banter about a time period or subject due to the nature of the conflict. However I hope you all at least enjoy a more sombre walk into history as we show our respect to the people who lost...

  18. Simply the Best.

    This epsiode me and the SGW talk about woman in history who we consider to be classed as boss ass bitchs. And for me this is barely scratching the surface of a subject I love. Woman through out history always have been and always will be more important than men because with out woman being the...

  19. Rockin the reverse mullet since 1000AD.

    Hey folks this week me and the SGW talk about the Storming Normans. We do take a stroll into talking about chips as well at one point and also wander off subject like always but this week it's not due to tangents but just our brains are completely frazzled due to life stuff. Hope you all in enjoy.

  20. Fantasy book chat(sunday)

    Me and the spooky goth wife talk about our favourite fantasy/sci-fi literature. ( it was meant to come out sunday just gone but the system threw a wobbler so I'm having to manually drop it today)

  21. Crusader Kings and Scammer kings

    In this episode me and spooky goth wife talk about King John and his dodgy ways, plus templars and other stuff. ( caveat I mess up a lot of names but I'm afraid when every one seems to called louis or phillip it gets a little confusing, I apologise in advance as I do correct my self at times in…

  22. Hasting a battle, a pivot point in history or the worst reenactment show of the year?

    This episode is really not safe for work, there is so much swearing in some respects so listener beware. However come join me and the spooky goth wife as we wander the annuals of history and talk about the battle of hasting both historically and from a reenactors view as well and why we both love...

  23. In the beginning, how did I become the man I am and the love I have for history.

    Me and spooky goth wife have a interesting chat about where it all began and my advice of how to get into history. WARNING (This is a very emotional episode and I apologise if any thing I say causes offence, also there are some very loud bits that come suddenly in the recording.) I must also...

  24. Top 5 empires - Who makes the cut?

    Featuring special grumblings by the Carbhund. What are the top 5 empires of the Angry History Chef? Will the no 1 spot go to who we suspect? Also featured... the worst 2 empires alongside this opinion of the Dunkirk conflict - "we got a good shoeing". We also now have a patreon so if you'd like...

  25. Fantasy Sunday - Tolkein Awareness Course

    Got some penalty points on your nerd card? Better take the Tolkein Awareness Course! The Angry History Chef talks about the first age, second age and why Tom Bombadill is incredibly misunderstood

  26. That's free real estate... or not - early medieval buildings and economy

    In this episode a very sleepy angry history chef recovers from the society training weekend by waffling about money and buildings in the early medieval period. Ps. His voice is very soothing in this one so if you fancy trying to learn things in your sleep...

  27. Early medieval food, two sequins and a bootlace

    The Angry History Chef discusses food in the early medieval period, cooking using authentic cauldrons, secrets of the catering industry and pasties (the food) vs pasties the... er.. dance accessories

  28. Hard core ramble

    This is just my own personal ramble completely unedited, the inner dark working of the angry history chef and what i actually talk about when i'm being serious about history. Its not the best thing to listen too but it adds a more hard core element to what me and spooky goth wife were talking about.

  29. Fashion, wimple to the right, Fashion, wimple to the left, oooooooo FASHION

    The Angry History Chef discusses clothing in early medieval England. This week he is mostly angry about Hollywood messing up vikings, why people think saxons aren't cool and just how far do we draw the line with authenticity?

  30. Fantasy Sunday - 40k and WTF did Magnus do wrong?

    In the first of our Sunday Fantasy casts, Spooky Goth Wife asks some questions about Warhammer 40k and gets entirely too much information forced into her brain. What did or didn't Magnus do? Why is the Emperor sat in a big chair? How long can the Angry History Chef talk about 40k without…

  31. Introduction - Who, what, where and why?

    We were supposed to answer those questions. We do. We also talk about Henry VIII's cock so make of that what you will. Welcome to the Angry History Chef podcast! (Ft. Spooky Goth Wife) Do you like a British man ranting about things? Do you like history? Do you like a podcast where we start off…
