The Gallimaufry
Two lovers of the past look at the weird, the wonderful and often overlooked bits of history. Gallimaufry means a confused jumble or collection of things and that basically sums us up. Crafted lovingly in a carpet shop basement. New episodes every month.

Learn about the man and his motivations and whether history was right to be less than kind to his legacy.
