For those of you that enjoy history, “In Our Time” is a podcast that shouldn’t be missed. It’s very fact-focused, and centers on Melvyn Bragg interviewing historical experts. I’ve linked the Neanderthal episode, but there are episodes on periods of time from prehistory to the near-present, and locations all across the world. All of the episodes are linked on the official BBC Podcast YouTube channel.
Those of you in Odyssey classes this semester know that we’ve been laser-focused in our examination of history, looking primarily at America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This podcast is a wonderful opportunity to listen to experts talk (and even argue!) about other areas of history. Bragg is wonderful because he’s wonderful at asking difficult followup questions about the information the experts present on the podcast, which leads to fascinating insights.
