The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous.

  • My No. 1 podcast

    I’ve listened through every main episode three times so far, and the members only episodes a couple of times. I can’t recommend this podcast highly enough! Is it too soon to start a 4th time around?

  • Great History Show

    Extremely in depth history of Britain. No commercials which is great. Easy to listen to (outside of all the kings names in the dark ages sounding the same).
