When a Friday morning at work involves sitting down to hear from brilliant storytellers like Duncan Mackay, I sometimes feel like I’m cheating at the whole ‘job’ thing. Lovely to chat!

A “one second of almost fame”. Great thread

Really pleased to announce that my new HistoryExtra podcast series, D-Day: Land, Air and Sea, is out now! Featuring the excellent Saul David, Nick Hewitt ⚓️🇺🇦🇹🇼 and Giles Milton, the three episodes tell the story of 6 June 1944 and the hard-fought campaign that followed (1/4)

A convict candidate 🧵 In 1920, a man named Eugene V Debs ran for the US presidency – despite the fact that he was in prison in Atlanta.

The third and final episode of my HistoryExtra podcast series, D-Day: Land, Air and Sea, is available to stream now. Featuring the brilliant Giles Milton, you can listen to it on all major podcast platforms and at historyextra.com/podcast-series… #DDay80

We didn't make much of a fuss about it because other history stuff was going on , but HistoryExtra dropped its 2000th and 2001st episodes yesterday. That's a lot of history podcasting.

You might have heard of the suffragettes Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison, but have you heard of Edith Rigby? You can discover more history like this in our new HistoryExtra podcast series: Deeds not Words.

Podcast day! Please do listen in to the new HistoryExtra Life of the Week episode on Boudica, where Elinor Evans & I try to get to the bottom of Boudica’s life, world, war & legacy. #Echolands

We liked Duncan Mackay on the HistoryExtra pod so much the first time he talked about Boudica that we invited him back for more Roman rebel chat. You'd be mad not to listen in

It was such a pleasure to judge this competition alongside Alice Loxton and other members of the HistoryExtra team! A huge congratulations to our 2024 winners – what an inspiring bunch they are 🌟
