    Jan 8 2025
    Before the new season gets underway next week, we’re bringing you a very special LIVE episode of The Rabbit Hole Detectives from the Cirencester History Festival back in October. In this week’s episode, Charles is sticking with what he knows as he looks into Aristocrats and Agriculture, Cat is chipping away at her subject, Ötzi the Iceman, and Richard is keeping it local-ish with Ernest Gimson. Thank you so much to everyone who attended the live show, we really appreciate it. And apologies for any slight audio issues, it’s due to the live nature of the show! We’ll be back with a new episode next week but, until then, if you’d like to put forward a topic then you can email the show at: rabbitholedetectives@gmail.com. Plus, our book, The Rabbit Hole Book, is still out and available from all good book shops. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A fascinating dive into "stuff"

I love this podcast and cannot WAIT for its resumption! The topics each week are farflung, unconnected and done with insight and humor. More, please....SOON! And DO think about doing a history of the martini. Think of the research!
