The Angry History Chef -Retired

26/03/2025

Hello all, we are alive and kicking but unfortunately the AHC's laptop is not and has chosen to disintegrate.

We haven't had the spoons to sort out setting everything up on SGW's computer/engagement ring yet but hope to soon.

Any requests for the comeback special?

We both have little energy so instead of our usual podcast format we have done a live recording of us watching the first two episodes of s2 of Rings of Power.

WARNING these are unedited NSFW, sweary and also feature random sounds such as the dog yawning and Kieran eating an ice lolly. Want to feel like you're sat on our sofa with us? This is for you 😆

There are points where we aren't talking, you can faintly hear the show in the background. Ep 1 starts from "binbag Sauron" part of ep1

What's that? Another episode? But it hasn't been a year! This time we actually discuss vikings for a change and whether Guthrum would have liked 18-30s holidays

The meme-meister general has knocked it out the park again with this one which pleases me, the SGW. If you don't understand, please listen to our latest episode....

Did you know it's women's history month? Well it is! In true dedication our wonderful meme meister was re-listening to our badass ladies episode and created this!

So today were going up country. Started my first squad of NVA forces. I should at some point do a proper talk on Vietnam

(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

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

We live! (Kind of)

Spooky Goth Wife here

On this second day of December we will be uploading not one... but two episodes we recorded ages ago and... didn't upload... 🫥

Well the bounty is yours!

Will there be more? Up to you guys I guess. We are feeling up to cracking out the mic again.

Hello my loves, it's been a while(que stained playing in your head if you're of a certain age). I've been run ragged with work and only just got back on the history reading wagon. The beautiful spooky goth wife gifted me all these wonderful books. The first one finished was the medieval archer and next up is sweins invasion. This is kind a key book for me as this is roughly what danelaw uses as one of it key history points to date shows.

Recently seen a piece of art being shared on numerous scifi pages I'm part of. The art in question is in fact a chart showing numerous space ships and there measurements in relation to each other. It a beautiful piece of work but the issue is half of the ships drawn on it are not at the right size.
This has been bugging me for days as it of course highlights all the wonder of star war, star trek and 40k ships but down plays an aweful lot of amazing space opera and dystopian space novels and the shear size of the ships they use.

My biggest complaint in for a series of ships based in something called the honorverse. The superdreadnought class ships in these series of books are given measurements at 4.5km in length from bow to stern and 0.6km at the beam. That puts them at the same scale as an imperial retribution class battle ship. But on this chart they are shown as being tiny little 1.5Km things. With a beam that could be no more than 0.2km wide.

Rant over.

Our mememeister general has been doing good work spotting relevant memes out in the wild. This one is definitely relevant to the recent rant 😆 - SGW
