I asked Sam about that in another (unpublished, yet) interview. If I remember rightly, he doesn't include Bengal because it was an internal administrative change, whereas the others divided nations and altered peoples' nationality. Also, it was reversed whereas the others still effect the world.

Thank you to @clairelanghamer.bsky.social for hosting today's panel on Podcasting for Historians. It was a really great discussion, and some brilliant questions from the chat!

It was a clip from Manuel I, talking about him flicking his cigarette before charging into battle.

It was so much fun, and thank you to @ceciliabrioni.bsky.social for the invitation (and for taking these photographs!)

Students were also given three examples to listen to before the session (episodes of @pontifactspod.bsky.social, @thebhp.bsky.social and @digivictorian.bsky.social) and discussed how each approached their topics. In their follow up tutorials they had to design a history podcast of their own!

I highlighted how many production companies rely on trained historians to either host or research their biggest shows, and why podcasts are such an effective method of public history. I played clips from @fallofcivspod.bsky.social and @totalusrankium.bsky.social to show how different they can be.

Last week I gave a 4th year lecture on podcasting as a medium of public history. I gave them a short History of History Podcasting, and talked about how the genre has evolved since the early years. From @mikeduncan.bsky.social and @dancarlin.bsky.social through to @theresthistory.bsky.social.
