The History Syndicate Podcast

👋 x2 ep release on Wed this week 😃

Re-release of Ep 25: Discussing ‘Thunder Run: #Meiktila 1945’ with the fab @historybowsh.bsky.social - apologies for the audio misalignment on initial release

Ep 27: Discussing ‘Religion and the Western Allies in #SWW / #WW2’ with the excellent Prof Mike Snape

Great visit to Transport Museum Wythall today at an excellent @bluelightcard.bsky.social event!

Favourite items were Amber the Ambulance (1939 #WW2 Vintage canvass vehicle) and the Ettington Bus!

#Inspired me to do some vehicle related items for the pod

Eketorps borg, Öland. Modern reconstruction showing the three main phases of medieval settlement: Eketorp I (c.300–400 AD), Eketorp II (c.400–700 AD), and Eketorp III (c.1170–1240).

Doing a little bit of research, obviously involving gliders and the Fiesler Storch. I have to say that this is a really informative and well presented summary of the Gran Sasso operation. Review to follow.

Also mentions for @foghaig.bsky.social, @warlordgames.com, Dr Spencer Jones and the Boer War (Ep 4) and others - a very enjoyable episode to have recorded

👋 This week, John Stallard and Mark spoke about #wargaming that led to:

🏰 Great news! Prince Rupert has arrived at Rockingham Castle - setting of the iconic BBC civil war drama 'By the Sword Divided'.
If you visit this amazing castle, you'll find Rupert holding court in the gift shop.

Archaeologists Found the Remains of an Ancient Roman Arts District Buried Underground They uncovered an entire street of production-focused buildings.

This is a big deal! 🪙 “Archaeologists working in the ancient Roman city of Suasa discovered a “main street” full of pottery and coin production.” www.popularmechanics.com/science/arch... Archaeologists Found the Remains of an Ancient Roman Arts District

👋 Slight technical hiccup this week, the ep on #Meiktila1945 will be republished in the coming weeks - apologies for that, but back next week with another episode that’ll be a blend of #history and #wargaming 💥

In the meantime - have a fab weekend 👋

👋 Hello, many apologies for the misaligned audio in this week’s ep that has led to some overlap in the discussion on Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945

The ep has been withdrawn and will be republished at a later date once the audio is corrected

Apologies to @historybowsh.bsky.social and to all listeners

@drrobertlyman.bsky.social

Done! ☑️

Awesome! There’s another pod ep in that I think?!?!?

Really enjoyed talking to the Royal Stuart Society about Prince Rupert last night. A great Q&A session afterwards.
* Could Rupert have taken London after Edgehill if he'd been allowed?
* Was his civil war military record marred by his cavalry charges?
* Was he an effective naval commander?

Looking ahead into your autumn diary? Why not come along to a talk about the 381st BG (H) USAAF? If you are in Essex on 21st October. Feel free to attend...

👋 Coming Wednesday…
