Excellent interviews and talks by fine historians. Leading academic research made accessible and entertaining. Highly recommended.
Got supremely lucky finding this resource. It’s pure facts and knowledge expertly packaged and concisely delivered for a learner to sit back and enjoy. As a Scot we didn’t get taught the Civil War at School. This package of podcasts and your website will have me knowing this chapter of history in no time. Many Thanks.
I’ve listened to about 18 episodes so far. Especially appreciated Dr. Mendelsohn’s discussion of the civil wars in children’s literature, the reappraisals of John Pym, and the extraordinary legal challenges of the King’s trial. This series really helps to open up this period, and reflect on changing historical interests and trends as well. Bravo!
Great to dive deeper than the average pod… with subject matter dissecting the most formative era in British politics. Thankyou.
Loving this podcast. Lots of interesting and varied episodes, which are just the right length. Are you taking requests? Would love to hear an episode about George Monck!

Historically focused discussions cover the British Civil Wars with a heavy emphasis on naval power, political machinations, royal exiles, and the social impact of warfare. Episodes frequently feature eminent historians and university-affiliated scholars, exploring themes from military funding and parliamentary maneuvering to cultural memory and children's literature about the era. A standout aspect is the consistent use of primary-source context and scholarly debate, including multiple viewpoints on contentious figures like Cromwell and Charles I, making it well-suited for listeners who crave rigorous, sourced analysis and nuanced debate rather than broad overviews.
