Cheer(io)s LIVE From London, with UFOs, Spacemen, Heroic Girls & Spy Balloons
Hidden History Happy Hour with Alex & BryanShow Notes
A good time was had by all as Alex, Bryan & H4Fans record a LIVE episode in the wonderful High Timber restaurant in London. Learn of the amazing adventure of Apollo 16, the Girl Who Fell From the Sky (hat tip to @SilverAlso), hear Bryan‘s “shi’y, Bri’ish” accent (hat tip to Spirited), and watch the guys enjoy a LOT of Alex’s wedding vino. And please disregard Bryan’s repeated reference to Episode 48 as this is actually Episode 47.

More from Hidden History Happy Hour with Alex & Bryan
Alex & Bryan tell the tales of a Bishop’s convenient hidey hole, and a Royal Marine Commando doctor hero to both sides in the 1982 Falklands War. The boys also have a vigorous discussion about renaming lakes, gulfs, and such.
Alex and Bryan tell a romantic tale of death (yes, you read that right) and extoll the WW II exploits of the Polish Cichociemni (“silent unseen”) Paratroopers. Don’t Miss It!
In their last go of 2025, the guys tell the tale of a surprisingly lucky boy forced into the British Navy and an audacious commando strike gone wrong, and predict the next James Bond.
Alex and Bryan welcome military historian and author Jack Bowsher to discuss “Thunder Run Meiktila 1945,” a triumphant and consequential campaign through the jungles of Burma. They’re also joined by a great friend of the show and decorated British Army combat veteran. Oh, and a key factor in the win was a 1/2-naked guy freezing his twigs and berries in a river.
