A discussion about scrambled eggs led to us having a think about the Luddites, whose name is now synonymous with anti-technology. But the Luddites were more complicated that, and this week we will explore the origins of the Luddites, how the government responded to them, and whether the Luddites maybe had a point that is relevant today.The following music was used in this podcast:"Anachronist" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ The Triumph of General Ludd by Chumbawumba

You may have heard of men who used to be deluded that they were Napoleon, but it turns out some women had a similar issue when it came to the Grand Duchess Anastasia of the Romanovs. This week Amelia tells us about Anna, a woman found in Germany covered in scars who may have secretly been the lost grand duchess, or maybe she was just another person who had a psychotic break and invented a whole new identity for herself.The following music was used in this media project:"Anachronist" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ "Thinking Music" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
