  • Edward I: Hammer of the Scots
    Nov 2 2025

    Part 1 of a series on all the King Edwards of English royal history post-1066.

    I'm joined by Dr Andy King to talk about Edward I. Hailed as a warrior ruler by the English who brought stability back to England and conquered Wales and Scotland and cursed as an evil tyrant by others who killed William Wallace, Edward I has gone down in history as one of England's most controversial kings. Is this reputation deserved?

  • The Nazis and Berlin- City of War
    Oct 4 2025

    As the Second World War breaks out in Europe in September 1939, Berlin is slowly transformed into a city of war. From rationing and bombing to forced labourers and the Holocaust, the city enters its darkest chapter, being brought to the brink of destruction by the Nazis.

    Chris Hick joins me for the final episode of this series about the Nazis and Berlin.

  • The Nazis and Berlin- World Capital Germania
    Sep 15 2025

    Part 2 of the series on the relationship between the Nazis and Berlin. Chris Hick joins me again to talk about what the Nazis did to Berlin once they were in charge.

    From employment programmes, creating the "people's community" to planning the architectural makeover of the capital, the Nazis hoped to change Berlin fundamentally and even planned to rename it to World Capital Germania.
