I really enjoy your podcast.
A small but important detail - Sarah, please learn how to pronounce Thiers. First time, it took me a few seconds to understand who you were talking about. It really grated any time you mentioned his name (quite a lot obv.!). You could take a leaf out of Anita Anand’s ‘book’ on Empire, she goes to great lengths to get it right in that department.
Think what it would sound like if someone kept mispronouncing an American historical character?
Keep up the good work.

United Kingdom20 days ago - Woke history
No PhD, no peer-reviewed papers- just a TV career and a “Public History” professorship that bypassed the normal academic ladder. Honorary doctorates keep piling up while actual PhD historians with decades in the archives stay overlooked. This podcast could’ve been brilliant with a real scholar. Instead we get Olusoga’s smug, nasal drawl and those endless, self-satisfied pauses. Stiff, grating, pure torture- avoid!
Apple Podcasts1DugeeeeUnited Kingdom22 days ago - Informative and excellent use of time
I found this podcast through the series on the history of the NRA and came away with a completely lucid and organized narrative of how the US over time misconstrued and corrupted the 2nd Amendment. I have found that this combination of thoroughness, clarity, and efficiency without shortcuts characterizes this pair’s work. I come away from each series or episode able to turn to another person and give a contextual precis of events like the Gunpowder Plot or the Black Tom incident. While the episo... more
