I read and loved SC Gwynne's book on the R101 disaster a few weeks ago. I knew very little about airships before I picked it up but a century ago many considered them the future for long distance air travel. An episode on @tttpodcast_ is incoming with a nice little primer here.

This was a real thrill. I interviewed Lady Hale, the former President of the Supreme Court, for @tttpodcast_. She's a great history enthusiast and a c17th fan. Her year, though, was 1925 - when three vital pieces of legislation passed through Parliament.

It's 1885. Sigmund Freud takes cocaine, William James goes for the nitrous oxide and Robert Louis Stevenson writes the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Loved recording this episode of @tttpodcast_ with @MikeJayNet

Here is a painting full of intrigue. You can just make out Petrarch's ghostly outline in the top left.
"Guy de Chauliac bandages the leg of Pope Clement VI at Avignon, while Petrarch, his enemy, jealous of his influence, watches him. c. 1348" (Wellcome Collection)
For a clearer view of Petrarch, his times and the intellectual movement that he stirred into life, join us on a trip back to 1348 with Sarah Bakewell - whose fabulous new history of humanism is out next week!

New episode. What an absolute treat to talk to Nandini Das (@rentravailer) about her sparkling new book 'Courting India'. We join Sir Thomas Roe in 1616 on his embassy to India and we watch on during his first meetings with the Mughal Emperor Jahangir.

What really happened at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History on 30 June 1860? @theosnick explains all in this week's episode, which examines the complex interrelationship between science and religion.
Fancy a trip back to 1860, and the dramatic events that followed the publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species? 🕰️📚
Look no further than this episode of Travels Through Time @tttpodcast_ with @theosnick on his book Magisteria!

This is a crucial moment in our island history - Ostorius Scapula and his role in the Roman invasion of Britannia.
