    This is the podcast of my dreams. Thank you for bringing us into conversation with so many great writers about the craft of writing history well. I now have a long reading list filled with titles I never knew I’d be so excited to read!

  • Inspiring and interesting!

    I am not writing history but am loving every episode of this podcast as I write my dissertation. I enjoy learning a bit about each guest’s research while also hearing how they approach their work both technically and socially. I highly recommend this podcast to academics in a variety of disciplines, as well as writers of other forms.

  • This is Very Well Done!

    Fantastic discussions. I get so excited when a new episode drops. As a graduate student writing my dissertation this has been such a treat to listen to on my daily walks. I get so inspired to keep working on my craft.

  • Fun and Encouraging

    I’m really happy that I found this podcast though Twitter (thanks #twitterstorians!). The conversations are lighthearted—something we often forget to be when talking about writing. They’re also motivating. I wish I had these to listen to in my dissertation proposal course! Well worth your time.
