The Olympic Games - Part 1
Published:

This week Peter and Russell take a look at the history of the Olympic Games. Going all the way back to ancient Greece where the first games took place on Olympia to honour Zeus and all the other gods. We then take a look at the end of the ancient Olympic Games and explore the revival of the games into what we now refer to as the Modern Olympic Games. Find out who won the first Olympic games, when the Olympic Symbol was introduced and lots of other fun facts surrounding this four-yearly tradition.

Unsolved mysteries (part 2)
Published:

This week the mysteries continue with Peter and Russell as they look at two famous unsolved conundrums. Grab your forensics kits and help us unravel the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass. Why would a group of experienced hikers abandon their tent in the middle of the night, ill prepared in the freezing cold? Or if you prefer, grab your code breaker and join us for a look into the Voynich Manuscript. Who wrote this 600 year old book and what language was it written in? What are they trying to tell us or even keep hidden from us? The Voynich manuscript has baffled Wold War II code breakers, linguists and even narrow AI. Go to archive.org and view the manuscript for yourself? Can you decode it?
