THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT

History EN ↓ 31 episodes

This is a podcast for all my history lovers out there (especially students) who love to talk about and hear about all the fun little details of history. All history nerds such as Gavin(trains) and myself(planes) have some sort of special obsession that we love to talk about forever and ever and we wanted to give a platform to like-minded people to spill the beans on their passions. This podcast is open to all sorts of topics whether it's railway companies in North America, ancient Egyptians and their pyramids, revolutions in France, or the war in Vietnam we will take it all!
