Houska Castle sits in the forests of the Czech Republic with a reputation that refuses to fade: a medieval fortress said to have been built not to keep enemies out, but to keep something in. In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco travel through the castle’s eerie legends and real historical context, exploring the famous tale of the “bottomless pit,” the unsettling chapel imagery that fuels the myth, and why certain places become story-magnets across centuries. Whether you come for the folklore, the architecture, or the question of why this castle feels like a lid on something unknown, this one is pure atmosphere.

And stay tuned after the episode for the original song: “Stone Over the Mouth.”

Sir David Mathew steps out of the shadows of medieval Wales and into the chaos of the Wars of the Roses—where loyalty could make your name… or get you killed. Chuck and Marco trace the legend of the Welsh knight tied to Llandaff Cathedral and the Yorkist rise of Edward IV, exploring how battlefield fame, local rivalries, and family memory can turn a real person into a lasting story carved in stone.

And don’t go anywhere—stay tuned after the episode for our original song, “Banner of the Falcon.”

Chuck and Marco head to the end of Long Island to unpack the Montauk legends—mind machines, time tunnels, and that hulking radar tower—separating coastal facts from conspiracy folklore. We dig into the Cold War setting, real underground facilities, why the story stuck, and how pop culture (hello, Stranger Things vibes) turned rumor into myth—all while keeping it conversational, skeptical, and fun. As always, our episodes are evergreen and powered by the latest AI architecture for crisp, up-to-date performance.

Stick around after the credits for our original song, “Signal From Montauk.” 🎶
