Morning. Unbelievable depravity on today's @TheRestHistory, as our LORD BYRON series continues. Today: DANGEROUS LIAISONS. Contains very, very poor behaviour. 💋 linktr.ee/restishistory
🚨LORD BYRON EPISODE THREE🚨 🦚 Upon the publication of his legendary poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Byron became an overnight celebrity with a dedicated cult following. 🫀 The next period of his life would be rocked by scandal, moral depravity and sexual outrage, with four…
A great thread. I agree. We should accept error, prioritise speed and bring back authority. The referee’s decision should be instant and final.
A great thread. I agree. We should accept error, prioritise speed and bring back authority. The referee’s decision should be instant and final.
Scenes today on @TheRestHistory, as LORD BYRON cuts a swathe through fashionable society, & embarks on the most scandalous sequence of relationships in literary history. A lady dressed as a page; a mathematician; his own sister: DANGEROUS LIAISONS ALL! linktr.ee/restishistory?…
Exactly right, and this is why VAR should be scrapped. Like most fans, I'd be perfectly happy to live with human officials making mistakes if it meant I could actually celebrate a goal again.
Tomorrow's episode of @TheRestHistory - continuing our account of LORD BYRON's remarkable life - is one of the maddest we have ever done: DANGEROUS LIAISONS
George Gordon, Lord Byron, died 200 years ago today. The current four-parter about him from @TheRestHistory is BRILLIANT open.spotify.com/episode/6FYREg… If you want to hear some of his poetry, here is some, from #PandemicPoems: soundcloud.com/user-115260978… and soundcloud.com/user-115260978…
Today on @TheRestHistory we continue our series on the most notorious genius in British history: LORD BYRON. He tours war-torn Spain; meets an Albanian pasha; insults Lord Elgin; is admired by the Sultan; becomes a byword for SCANDAL, SEX & CELEBRITY... linktr.ee/restishistory
Morning. On @TheRestHistory, the rip-roaring, eye-popping story of LORD BYRON continues. Today: SCANDAL, SEX AND CELEBRITY. Byron travels East; behaves poorly in Albania, Greece and Constantinople; and has foolish views about Britain's Elgin Marbles. 🇬🇧 linktr.ee/restishistory
Today on @TheRestHistory, marking the 200th anniversary of his death, a 4 part epic on Britain's 1st international celebrity: LORD BYRON. Genius, rake, romantic hero; shadowed by sexual scandal, & a martyr for liberty; MAD, BAD & DANGEROUS TO KNOW... linktr.ee/restishistory
Morning. An extraordinarily colourful new @TheRestHistory series begins today - the life of LORD BYRON. Rake, freedom fighter, poet, vampire ... but who was the man behind the Regency scandals? And how did his bloodcurdling erotic escapades begin? ❤️ linktr.ee/restishistory
🚨🕺DISCO!!🕺🚨 🪩 From the dystopian gloom of late 1960s America, an orgasmic new sound was born at underground parties and clubs in New York, and with it a flamboyant new ethos... 🦄 A window into the cultural concerns of the day, DISCO provided a hedonistic refuge of bright…
Morning. A very hedonistic @TheRestHistory today - it's the story of DISCO. Where and how was disco born? How did it reflect the political and cultural turmoil of the Seventies? And why did so many Americans react so violently against it? 🪩 linktr.ee/restishistory
The most chilling words I have ever read.
Morning. One great leap for humanity on today's @TheRestHistory. MOONWALKERS - the story of the Apollo astronauts who went to the moon. With special guest .... TOM HANKS. And yes, he does comment on @holland_tom's acting. 🚀 linktr.ee/restishistory

I have just finished reading State of Emergency by @dcsandbrook. Long (645 pages), at times shocking to read, at times painful to read but never less than engrossing to read. The best non-fiction book that I have read and one that I can absolutely recommend.
A great thread. I agree. We should accept error, prioritise speed and bring back authority. The referee’s decision should be instant and final.
During lockdown, I wrote 30k words about VAR and measurement theory. No-one wanted to publish it - they all said it was mad. But offsides like this Coventry one mean I can't stop thinking about it. 3 major issues.
@dcsandbrook Definitely - particularly for true sons of the Black Country/Salopian Bad Lands!
@dcsandbrook I've done a full about-turn on this one. Thought VAR was a great idea before it was brought in and now believe it's ruining the game for fans.
This is what it all comes down to. The raw emotion of football taken away by VAR.
George Gordon, Lord Byron, died 200 years ago today. The current four-parter about him from @TheRestHistory is BRILLIANT open.spotify.com/episode/6FYREg… If you want to hear some of his poetry, here is some, from #PandemicPoems: soundcloud.com/user-115260978… and soundcloud.com/user-115260978…
Aaaaaand relax (and read about crippling poverty in the 1960s in ‘The Other England’ chapter of @dcsandbrook’s excellent White Heat)
Well, @TheRestHistory, that was among the most wonderful essays in literary biography - of any medium - I have had the pleasure of ravenously consuming. @holland_tom on narrative fire and @dcsandbrook the perfect foil, at once aghast, disapproving and thrilled

I have always been a podcast free rider, but my addiction has now reached the point of financial commitment to @TheRestHistory . Keep your morfin, meth and fine wine, but do not withhold me my regular dose of @holland_tom and @dcsandbrook
Fascinating to be in the room at Cumberland Lodge where Baldwin apparently planned the ultimatum during the abdication crisis when he was staying here. @dcsandbrook
@holland_tom @TheRestHistory Just a fascinating pod on Byron. Wonderful final stanza. What a life he led. I found this book brilliant on Shelley, Mary Shelley and the amazing Mary Wollstonecraft an exceptional read. Great to hear you are doing a show on Frankenstein, how about Wollstonecraft? @dcsandbrook
As a huge fan of @TheRestHistory podcast and having played Lord Byron twice, seeing my image on the promo for their new series on Byron is a genuine thrill!
Morning. An extraordinarily colourful new @TheRestHistory series begins today - the life of LORD BYRON. Rake, freedom fighter, poet, vampire ... but who was the man behind the Regency scandals? And how did his bloodcurdling erotic escapades begin? ❤️ linktr.ee/restishistory
@dcsandbrook I've just finished Seasons in the Sun (audiobook). I loved it. I started senior school in ted heath's constituency in '73. Nearly everything you wrote about was total news to me. My best mate's dad was on the NUPE executive so must have been in the middle of it.
On this day in 1912 the Titanic met its tragic end, sinking beneath Atlantic off the coast of newfoundland. Like @dcsandbrook, I have an immense respect for Cpt Smith who you cannot convince me did not rally his crew with the rousing phrase "Be British, boys. Be British!"
If anyone out there wants to understand me better, please listen to this @TheRestHistory episode from 12:20 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the… @dcsandbrook captures this essence perfectly
A very moving evening at @TitanicBelfast for 'A Night to Remember', bringing the story of Titanic to life. Tom and Dominic @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook you would have loved this!
@pmc7679 @TheRestHistory @dcsandbrook There are some wonderful snippets of appreciation for JC in Denis Healy's autobiography which are all the better because Healy became converted to JC by working with him more.
