E186 - Top Secret Misinformation - Part 5

About this episode

In this episode, the team answers listener questions while celebrating the holiday season.

December 2025 This is the fifth instalment of our annual episode where we celebrate the oncoming festivities of the snowy season - religious or secular - with a surfeit not of turkey and roasties but of questions! Questions sent in by our listeners, gifted to us through the medium of social media. A selection of these holiday treats, where we bust myths and reveal hidden histories, has been made by Team Podcast who are all present and correct for this episode. Who are Team Podcast? Erica Munro (Head of Content), Dr David Kenyon (Research Historian), Dr Thomas Cheetham (Research Officer) and podcast producer Mark Cotton. We have six of our listeners' finest questions to share with you - we will do five of these as a usual Q&A, but look out for the sixth question - relating to pets - as we intersperse our interview with simian Siginters' sidekicks, and canine Codebreakers' companions.
