S3 E01 - Alex Churchill & Andy Lock on Lions Led By Donkeys and the First World War
**WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE**
Support the show
To kick of Series 3 we welcome Broadcaster and Historian Alex Churchill and First World War historian and Tutor Andy Lock, and they are here to let fly (and they do) that the First World War is not Lions Led By Donkeys, that the history is not the poetry, that Franz Ferdinand's assassination was the excuse, not the cause of the war.

History Rage
Think you know history? Think again.
History Rage is the weekly podcast where professional historians come armed with evidence, fury, and a burning desire to set the record straight. Hosted by Paul Bavill, each episode invites a leading historian to reveal the one historical myth, misconception, or lazy narrative they wish we’d all stop believing — and why it matters.
From “Vikings wore horned helmets” to “Britain stood alone in 1940” and “medieval people never bathed,” this is history with attitude, myth-busting with academic rigor, and truth-telling that pulls no punches.
Whether you’re a lifelong history buff, a student, or just someone who’s had enough of bad takes on TikTok, History Rage gives you the real story — with all the rage it deserves.
