Mother Teresa, Dr. Seuss, Gandhi. Is it possible these enlightened historical figures were total scumbags? That's what we try to decide in Scumbags of History, where we pick through the dirty underwear pile of lesser-known facts about some of the famous people society has put on a pedestal. Hosted by confirmed scumbags, comedians Brittany Schmitt and Mateen Stewart, Scumbags Of History is a thoroughly disreputable history lesson on the people you thought you knew from history. Episodes on Frank Sinatra, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, James Brown, Charlie Chaplin, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Picasso, and more figures from history, released weekly. You can find clips of the show on TikTok @wisecrackofficial or @scumbags.of.history, see full episodes on YouTube @ScumbagsOfHistory and follow Brittany (@BrittanySchmitt) and Mateen (@MateenStewart) on Instagram.

Join your host Monty Lord as he trawls through the history books and picks apart some of the most bizarre laws ever passed in the UK.
Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that’s become so embellished over time?
For example…
Is it illegal to own a pet whale but not a tiger? Is it illegal to cause a nuclear explosion? Is it illegal to be drunk in a pub? Is Granny Farming illegal?
Until recently, it was illegal for a woman to encourage a man to marry her by wearing false hair, high heels or makeup. It was also unlawful to sound a gong in Morecambe & Heysham. Until 2016, singing Happy Birthday in public could have been a breach of copyright law, and you could have been sued.
There are, surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence today that would simply make your jaw drop. While bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws regularly?
…all these questions and more will be answered in this podcast, ‘Bizarre Laws of The UK’.
This show is for anyone who enjoys learning about our sceptred isle’s more bizarre and somewhat macabre laws.
Your host Monty Lord is a 17-year-old bestselling author, multi-award-winning change maker, social entrepreneur and researcher dedicated to challenging injustices through the use of the law. As a world memory champion, Monty became the youngest in the UK, holding the most Guinness World Records for world memory challenges.

Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, there are a lot of cases that have earned the distinction. In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.

This conference addresses important changes in the representation of crime, litigation, and justice in Britain over the period 1660-1850, and particularly the constitution of public opinion about justice by "performances" which touched the emotions. The principal objective is to encourage a second wave of historical studies relating to the "theatre" of justice in this period; one that builds upon earlier work by transcending the boundary between courtrooms and the public gaze and recognizing the importance of representation and performance.
