History's Strangest Deaths

Riley Knight is the host of Half-Arsed History, a weekly podcast highlighting absurd and entertaining stories from history. Born in Melbourne, Victoria, Riley became a primary school teacher after finishing his mostly-useless Arts degree, and began Half-Arsed History as a hobby while teaching grade three. The podcast has only grown since then, with millions of downloads across the world, live shows across Australia, and now its very own book.

After spending almost a decade living in Europe, Riley now lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, and consistently produces three episodes of Half-Arsed History every week (except when the cricket is on, at which time he produces them inconsistently). He likes historically-themed video games, running, and - rather obviously - books.
