We see how Alan Turing and General MacArthur were central to wartime code-breaking, on different sides of the world.

• 44. Hamilton and the American Revolution PART II – the one where we play lots of music and explain what it means

  Listen

  May 03 2021

  Please share this episode with friends who need Dad & Me & Hamilton the hip-hop musical in their life! The production company behind Hamilton the musical has given us the soundtrack and the full rights to use it – so you’ll hear some big numbers in this episode. You’ll also hear what you can learn about history from a hip-hop musical that treats its audience as the intelligent beings that our listeners are! There are some big plot spoilers in here – but no worse than if you simply listen to the musical’s soundtrack. On Disney+, Hamilton the musical is rated PG-13, but we spare you the worst of the language here. You will hear ‘damn’ and ‘hell’ amid the lyrics of the songs we include from the Hamilton musical. (Lin-Manual Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, also composed the music for Moana; the two sound rather different.)  Here are some questions to see how much you understood from today's show: 1. What was James' favourite line from the musical? 2. In the song "Guns and Ships" which country was the superpower and who were they fighting against? 3. What do you think George Washington meant when his character sang "History has its eyes on me"? 4. Do you think different people can believe different versions of the same period of history? 5. Where did they make the new US capital and what is it called? 6. The Hamilton Project found that the musical has what percentage of historical accuracy?

• 42. How did Britain accidentally-on-purpose take over India?

  Listen

  Mar 01 2021

  We get to India by looking at the origins of Empire, Elizabeth I’s Muslim friends and England v Britain In investigating why and how the English (later, the British) got involved in India, we discover how a bit of charm and a trading company can spread an empire – all backed with brute force. We enjoy a side-track into a headless Mary and how England most definitely does not equal Britain. And you’ll find answers to the best homemade jokes like “Which country’s empire tastes best at Christmas?” Elizabeth I is back, and she’s full of charm for the Islamic world. (Ever since we recorded this episode, whenever James wants to charm his way to more gaming time he quotes Elizabeth I’s letters to the Turkish Sultan, calling me the “Most Imperial and Most Invincible Emperor”.) So, do you know the answer to the Christmas joke now?!? Here are six questions to test your listening skills: In which continent outside Europe did Britain’s empire begin? What was the slave trade? Why did Elizabeth say that Catholics are so last century*? (*Not her exact words) What is the difference between “England” and “Britain”? What was the name of the only business that Elizabeth allowed to trade with India? How did Britain go from only having a trading company in India to invading India?

• 41. Why was Princess Elizabeth the girl who should never become Queen?

  Listen

  Feb 01 2021

  We investigate why Princess Elizabeth’s sister sent her to prison with the aim of executing the future Elizabeth I. Find out how portraits can say "I'm a mighty goddess!" and discover the coolest way to reply to a marriage proposal that you don’t want. This episode is all about the smart, charming and cunning girl-power of a princess who they said could never become Queen.  Definition: You'll hear about 'Traitor's Gate', and if the word 'traitor' is new to you, it means someone who has switched sides and gone against their country and their queen (or king). Many thanks to the Tower of London and Hatfield House, where much of today’s show was recorded back in 2017 (you’ll hear James’ cute, squeaky voice!). Here are 6 questions to test your listening skills: Henry ended up as Church of England but what type of religion did he follow first? Which gate was Elizabeth brought in through when she was taken to the Tower of London? Why do you think Mary did not want Elizabeth to ever be queen? Give two examples of sources of evidence that we found at Hatfield House. Why did people think a woman could not rule on her own? How did Elizabeth show that she was a clever and strong leader?

  Listen

  Feb 01 2020

  Our mission here is to help kids increase their awareness of a difficult issue but without causing nightmares. In the intro, we do go as far as to say that the Nazis killed six million Jews – because to ignore or deny that only helps Nazis. After that, we play safe. But, yes, this episode may be more relevant to older kids more than the 5-year-olds (who should definitely check out our first 19 episodes, at least – James was only 6 when we started recording material!). And if you want to know why a Jewish boy wanted to join Hitler’s youth group, listen until the very end! Read industry reviews of Dad’s new World War II Asia-Pacific novel, The Slightest Chance, at paulletters.com. It’s now out on Kindle for US$6.99, as well as in paperback.

LISTEN HERE Here are some questions based on today’s episode: 1.      When was Andy Factor born? 2.      When did Hitler and the Nazis take over Germany? 3.      What does ‘propaganda’ mean? 4.      Who was Andy separated from at school? 5.      What did Andy’s teacher do to Andy in front of the class? 6.      Only, about 500,000 Jews lived in Germany, so how were the Nazis able to capture millions of Jewish people?

• 10. World War II Air Raids: Would you pay a penny to see a butterfly bomb?

  Listen

  Jun 22 2018

  Dad and Me join Air Raid Precaution Post 27 – a reenactment group we met at a 1940s weekend at Fort Nelson, Portsmouth, in southern England. What were “butterfly bombs” and why did kids love them so much? Butterfly bombs caused chaos when they were dropped on a few selected cities in Britain – so why didn’t Hitler drop more of them? And what sound – heard at football matches (a few years ago) – was used to warn people of an attack by one particular type of weapon? Thank you to Post 27’s Jane Biscombe for telling us all about World War Two air raids! If you’re in the UK, you’ll find history reenactment groups at weekend events all over the country. Find out more about Air Raid Precaution Post 27. Some words you may need to know before you listen: Dud – a dud is a bomb that fails to explode Bomb disposal – means to take apart a bomb so that it can’t explode LISTEN HERE Questions for after you’ve listened: How old was the boy who charged his friends money to look at the butterfly bomb in his garden? What was the worst part of World War II for this boy (who is now an old man)? Why did Hitler think that butterfly bombs were not causing a lot of damage? How would babies survive an attack by bombs of poisonous gas? (Don’t worry, this episode is not harrowing – in the end, such bombs were never dropped.) What did kids have to do every week at school, maybe in maths lessons? And can you explain why?   Look on our webpage for images that accompany each episode.

• 7. What was Australia like before Europeans arrived? (Part II)

  Listen

  May 11 2018

  It’s the final part of our Australia adventure, and we spend the day with Mark Jones and his family. Mark runs Straddie Adventures, aboriginal culture tour specialists on Queensland’s North Stradbroke Island (known as ‘Straddie’). We apologise for some poor sound quality (it gets better): hunting conditions – with Dad paddling furiously at the rear of the kayak and James standing on the bow, holding a 12-foot spear – are a bit different to studio conditions! To find out what happens after 8-year-old James throws that spear, listen on… After our kayaking and spearing adventure, we go back to Mark’s family home, where his wife Michelle cooked us up a treat, aboriginal-style. And Mark explains about aboriginal culture and describes some aboriginal artwork he’s been working on. James explains the Kangaroo Dance his group created at Clearwater Bay School – with music performed by James Rita and Connie (while Dylan is the dancing kangaroo). Questions for after you’ve listened: What does stingray taste like? The ‘barb’ on the tip of a stingray’s tail is like a sharp, jagged knife blade! What weapon in medieval Europe was a bit like the stingray’s barb? Give examples of what girls are allowed to hunt in aboriginal culture. What are boys allowed to hunt that girls aren’t in traditional aboriginal culture? In history, we often rely on documents to tell us about the past. In aboriginal culture, how do people learn about the past? Europeans killed many aborigines when they took over Australia. Later, white British people ruled the land and they would not allow aborigines to continue their culture. What movie can you ask your parents to watch to find out more about this? ANZAC Day, April 25, is a public holiday in Australia – a day when people remember those who have been killed in war. Mark tells us about aboriginal and white men who had fought in war together. Later, when they went to the pub, who did the pub owner refuse to serve drinks to and why do you think that happened? Aboriginal dances tell real stories. What was the story James’ group danced at school all about?   See our webpage for photos from our adventure!

  Listen

  Apr 27 2018

  Here's the first of two special episodes on aboriginal Australia! At home in Hong Kong, we visit a cultural exhibition at James' school, where we find out about an aboriginal-style painting James’ and his group made as a part of their investigation into aboriginal culture. And we hear James play the didgeridoo during his group's Kangaroo Dance. Then we pop along to see some aboriginal art - in Brisbane, Australia! We meet an aboriginal family who keep traditional culture alive on Queensland’s Gold Coast. Dad and Me are joined by guest presenters, and we fire some fairly random history questions at our aboriginal guests! Questions for after you’ve listened: What does “Jingerri” mean? What do the colours yellow, red and black symbolise (what do they mean?) in aboriginal art? What did aboriginal people use to make the different coloured paints? Back in history (before Europeans arrived in Australia), what would aboriginal boys and girls do for fun? What could a boomerang be used for? Apart from walking, what type of transport did aboriginal people sometimes use? Does the local aboriginal language have words for all of the numbers 1-10?
