  • Palestine is not a thing

    Stop saying ‘modern day Israel or Palestine.’ There is no modern state of Palestine. Saying so suggests historical illiteracy and rank partisanship. It’s a made up nationality.

  • Lovely

    As usual, it is a delight to listen to John Hopkins. His delivery is a joy to hear. The material is thoughtful and, (hopefully), very well researched.

    I would gladly listen to Mr. H read my grocery list each week but delving into moments in history seems a better use of talent!

    I did not know I was a fan of history podcasts until I heard this one and another noiser product - a short history.

    Both are excellent.
