Show overview
The British History Podcast has been publishing since 2011, and across the 15 years since has built a catalogue of 549 episodes, alongside 8 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 290 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 10th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 24 min and 36 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language History show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 27 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Jamie Jeffers.
From the publisher
The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous.
