In each episode we ask a leading historian, novelist or public figure the tantalising question, ”If you could travel back through time, which year would you visit?” Once they have made their choice, then they guide us through that year in three telling scenes. We have visited Pompeii in 79AD, Jerusalem in 1187, the Tower of London in 1483, Colonial America in 1776, 10 Downing Street in 1940 and th... more

Fantastic podcast! Wide range of subjects with interesting guests who are given time and space to speak. Best of all the very well informed host brilliantly takes part in the interviews without showing off.
A deeply irresponsible programme
Thanks to Peter Moore for the interview about Patrick O‘Brian. Look forward to more such gems
Low quality of sound, as it’s very hard to listen to it. It’s dull as well! I was trying to get more interesting history about “David” but did not last. It’s so bad.
Excellent app. Just listened to David Veevers podcast. Excellent.

A history-focused interview series frames each episode around a single year chosen by a guest historian, novelist, or public figure. The guest then guides the host through three vivid scenes from that year, blending scholarly context with narrative storytelling to illuminate how people lived, worked, and moved through their times. Episodes often weave in travel and cultural crossover, exploring art, politics, warfare, empire, and everyday life across continents. The format tends to attract listeners who enjoy deep-dive, scene-driven exploration of specific moments in history, brought to life by expert guests and well-crafted storytelling.
What stands out is the consistent three-scene structure that makes broad historical periods tangible, ... more
