    The Second branch of the tale of Gruffydd ap Llewellyn pits our army of idiots against a deluge of dark aged danger!*

    Join the Silly History Boys for a Wales of a time!

    Please do rate and review and why not tell a friend or a neighbour who you one day seek to supplant as the greatest Kingdom in all Britain!

  • Remembrance Day Special
    Nov 11 2024

    Hi Listener,

    Sometimes it's very hard to make things silly, so this time we're not going to. This is a show Tombo wrote many moons ago after he spoke to some people who were genuinely in the history and did the history... and it wasn't always nice.

    CONTENT WARNING!!! This episode features actual history where not everyone makes it to the end in an actual serious way that isn't funny.

    It's really important though, because perhaps if we hear what people in the past had to do we can try and avoid having to do it again...

    Thanks to Zapsplat for the SFX as always.

    Thanks to Scott Buckley for his amazing music.

    Thanks for listening.

    Remember what others did folks... Then maybe we and our children won't have to do it.

Monty Python vs radio four! Very funny and informative!

Great fun listen every week! Humour on point History on point!

It runs like Monty Python and the holy grail of that where sixty episode!

The production on it is great and it’s silly enough and funny enough for the whole family to enjoy!
