History Hack

You’ve heard about one Cleopatra - she of the Elizabeth Taylor film with the snake and the boob, but what about the others! Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones joins us to weave a tale of absolute power, backstabbing, self-styling goddesses, war and the generally bonkers antics of the super rich that makes the Tudors look dull.https://ko-fi.com/historyhackwww.uk.bookshop.org/historyhackwww.patreon.com/historyhackwww.historyhack.co.uk

Saul David returns to celebrate our shiny relaunch and talk all about his fantastic new book. Think everything has been said about the British airborne forces? Think again. There's a broad tale to be told about their evolution across the whole war, if Alina and Alex can stop swooning long enough to get the questions out...https://ko-fi.com/historyhackwww.uk.bookshop.org/historyhack www.patreon.com/historyhackwww.historyhack.co.uk

Robin Bernstein joins us to talk about her new and exciting book about William Freeman who was committed of a crime he did not commit.

Claire Martin joins us to talk to us about her book on the Boleyn family, and no we only mention THE ANNE twice!

Peter C. Herman joins us to talk all about the 1590's and no for the first time, we don't talk about the fat ginger man!

Jeff Hawn joins us to talk all about Russian History, yes it is still classed as history if it is older than 25 years and we just fit into that timeline!

Kate Green joins us to talk about her new book on the Badminton Horse Trials. Alina can't contain herself because she gets to geek out on horses for 40min.

John Croucher is back to talk to us about Women in Science, of course we had to get Kit onboard to chat all things science and history.
