For history lovers who listen to podcasts, History Unplugged is the most comprehensive show of its kind. It's the only show that dedicates episodes to both interviewing experts and answering questions from its audience. First, it features a call-in show where you can ask our resident historian (Scott Rank, PhD) absolutely anything (What was it like to be a Turkish sultan with four wives and twelve concubines? If you were sent back in time, how would you kill Hitler?). Second, it features long-form interviews with best-selling authors who have written about everything. Topics include gruff World War II generals who flew with airmen on bombing raids, a war horse who gained the rank of sergeant, and presidents who gave their best speeches while drunk.

I familien Rothschilds våbenskjold ses en handske, der holder om fem pile. Historien bag motivet er den, at familiens stamfader, den jødiske bankier Mayer Amschel Rothschild, omkring år 1800 sendte sine fem sønner afsted til fem forskellige europæiske storbyer for her at opstarte selvstændige bankvirksomheder, som skulle videreføre hans indbringende geschæft. De fem byer var Frankfurt, Napoli, Wien, Paris og London. Resultatet blev særdeles vellykket, lad os bare kalde det det. Rothschilderne blev nemlig Europas rigeste og mest magtfulde familie, og deres navn giver ekko i evigheden. Radio24syv har bedt historikeren Thomas Oldrup følge de fem pile i Rothschilds våbenskjold til de fem byer - Frankfurt, Napoli, Wien, Paris og London for at fortælle historien om Rothschild-dynastiet.
