In the early 1900s, Clever Hans the Equine Wonder took Europe by storm. Hans became famous for his abilities to perform complex mathematical equations, spell out full sentences, share his hot takes on music, and so much more. But was this horse really a master of maths? Or was this all just an elaborate hoax? Well... it was actually neither. It turns out that the truth was far more interesting than anyone could have predicted!

Important note: Unfortunately I wasn't able to import my show when I was switching hosting platforms, and as a result I'm having to re-upload my podcast from the start. Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that! Hopefully before too long I'll have caught up to my current output. In the meantime, you can check out my full back catalogue of episodes, and catch up with my newer content, over on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp6MWEI1w5ZrPiEM7zZKmgvtqhmWWbpeB
