It is a truth universally acknowledged that podcasts are slowly taking over the world. Back in 2018 I wrote two posts (here and here) about the history podcasts that had me hooked. As podcasts have continued to grow in popularity, its only natural that a few new players have entered on to the history podcast…
12 Exhibitions You’ve Simply Got To See in 2020
2019 was a GREAT year for exhibitions here in the UK. I was lucky I got to see quite a few of them. However, there was one exhibition that topped them all for me! The Dior: Designer of Dreams Exhibition at The V&A. But what will 2020 bring? What tickets do you need to be…

Can you believe the countdown to Christmas is on? It really doesn’t seem that long ago we were ringing in the new year. And what a year it was! 2019 has been a great year for historical exhibitions (I mean, I’m still dreaming about the delight that was the Dior exhibition at the V&A) but…
