I am almost finished with the script for Episode 7 of Winds of Change, and it's by far the longest I've ever written for a podcast. But that's what happens when you try to cover the First World War, Indian revolutionary plots, the return of Gandhi, and the Imperial War Cabinet in one episode!

I had a fantastic time doing this! Public history is more important than ever, and I was thrilled to (hopefully) push a few future historians towards it.
(This is also my personal handle on BlueSky, so go follow me there!)

Last week I gave a 4th year lecture on podcasting as a medium of public history. I gave them a short History of History Podcasting, and talked about how the genre has evolved since the early years. From @mikeduncan.bsky.social and @dancarlin.bsky.social through to @theresthistory.bsky.social.
I got pinged about this comment on Reddit about the show - if there's space between @theresthistory.bsky.social and HardcoreHistory I will happily take it!

Where would this be on this scale? Far right? 😄
The first reviews/comments for Winds of Change - positive across the board, but I think my favourite is Cian's:
"I feel like I'm listening to a BBC documentary but they finally let an academic run the show without their hands tied behind their back."
Hi! I'm not sure if it's on YouTube music yet (Google is being difficult!) but the first episodes are on YouTube.

I don't think their AI knows what a cannon looks like.
I just finished speaking with Sam Dalrymple about his forthcoming book "Shattered Lands: The Five Partitions of India" and his work with Project Dastaan, which uses technology to reconnect refugees to the friends, families, and homes they had to leave behind in 1947.

Thanks Greg!
