The Rest Is History
Historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook are interrogating the past, and attempting to de-tangle the present. They question the nature of Greatness, why the West no longer has civil wars and whether Richard Nixon was more like Caligula or Claudius. They’re distilling the entirety of human history, or, as much as they can fit into about fifty minutes.

Short History Of…
History is full of the extraordinary. Amazing civilisations like the Mayans and the Aztecs. Remarkable peoples, like the Vikings and the Ancient Egyptians. Fearsome warriors like the Samurai and the Spartans. Fascinating figures steeped in mystery, like the Ninjas and the Knights Templar. Then there are events that changed everything: the California Gold Rush, Watergate, the Mount Vesuvius Eruption, the Black Death. You may have heard of these things. But ever wish you knew more? Short History Of… is the new podcast from Noiser. Each week, you’ll find yourself transported back in time and immersed in a barely believable tale.
