- The French Revolution like you've never heard before
As a historian myself, I thought I had a pretty good handle on the French Revolution. But host/creator William Clark takes you deep, deep into into the intellectual, social, and political aspects of the Revolution in a way that makes it come alive--both in its monstrosities and its loftiest ideals. Clark wants the listener to deal with the "greys" of history and avoid pat answers to the history of this critically important time and place. With a full Aussie accent and dry humor, Clark is a sure... more

An obviously well researched podcast but about 20% too many episodes. Also, as an admitted fangirl of Lafayette, I disagree with the host’s consistently unfavorable opinion of him and the reasons/motivations behind his actions and decisions. Most historians would also disagree with him.
Apple Podcasts4Katie265United States3 months ago - Everything you ever wanted know and then some
I was looking for a new podcast to binge at work, and decided I wanted to know more about the French Revolution. As far as I remembered, the people didn’t want a king anymore, because he was jerk and and his wife had a necklace. The bastille was stormed, all the criminals ran out, then everyone got their head cut off. more
Apple Podcasts5EvilqueenmindyUnited States3 months ago - Fabulous well researched podcast
After returning from a trip to France, I was curious about the period between the storming if the Bastille and when Napoleon appears on the scene. Then, I had the good fortune to find this podcast! Now I’m hooked, and I have to listen to all 140+ episodes to get entire picture of the revolution. Only wish I’d known about this podcast before my trip! It’s clear, so much work was put into this. It includes great detail and pacing and at times you feel you’re there in the moment . Run Luis Run was... more
Apple Podcasts5CL-loverUnited States4 months ago - How can it be so good?!
Who knew one could engage with a podcast for so long about history? William Clark anticipates the listeners needs to make it easy to actively listen during the podcast. He pauses and repeats just when you need a second to catch up. He adds a joke or a reflective sentence just when you need it. Amazing orator. Give this man an award lol.
