260 Menopausal Librarians (Trains week) - That Was Genius episode 129

  • Summary

  • Choo choo, steaming in two months late, we're back!

    This week it's all about trains. Sam kicks us off with a look at the Australian 'Afghan' or 'Ghan' camel trains of the 19th century.

    Next, Tom's looking at the ancient Greek sort-of-railway, sort of road for boats, the 'Diolkos'.

    Next week's episode is a patron exclusive all about people called Tom and Sam! Find it at patreon.com/thatwasgenius

    Welcome to That Was Genius: Two blokes. An immature sense of humour. And 10,000 years of human civilisation. A weekly podcast looking at the weirder side of history.

    Join Sam Datta-Paulin (he likes history and lives in Britain) and Tom Berry (he also likes history and used to live in New Zealand but is now in the UK as well), for a weekly reflection on the bold, the brilliant... And the downright strange.

    From bizarre events and stories to equally odd inventions, barely a day goes by without something incredible (or incredibly stupid) happening around the world.

    We upload new episodes every Wednesday night/Thursday morning (UK time).
