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 thoughts on the BPH

    Great History Podcast! I’ve been listening for free since the beginning! The first years of episodes are the best and I enjoyed the funny modern asides that were included. However, the last 3 years have seen many more occasions to take shots at one political side exclusively. I’m perfectly fine with Jamie being progressively leaning and seeing his bias come through occasionally didn’t bother me at all. I expect it, it’s human nature. But as the 2024 election cycle ramped up, so did Jamie’s p... more

I like the constant referencing of the sources, which can be crucial to understanding the point of view. I love the humor and the musical choices. It’s like listening to hours of intricate gossip - which is really what history is, when you come down to it. Thank you!
