Welcome to the History Sideshow - my weekly podcast that runs in between the main Unearthed seasons.

This week Ryan returns to the Covenanters Prison and the infamous Bluidy George Mackenzie, to sift out the poltergeist from the pretence, as well as highlighting a unique individual in Scottish history - a man named Alexander Trocchi whose drug fuelled literary career lay at the heart of the American Beat Generation with another weekly round up of week-in-history news!
