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.

    Gone Medieval is so much better. Too much modern US politics laced into it to be called “British” history 🥱🫩😴

    Just brilliant. I listen to this on my own, and with my daughter who was 10 when we started. Though I have to admit some trouble keeping track of all the various Aethelfrods and Aethylstans (sp)! My favourite episodes are when there’s an overview of a subject.

    I was pleased to see this is recommended listening for the History syllabus at my children’s high school.
