    370 Reduce to Obedience

    370 Reduce to Obedience

    'I expect not anything can reduce that people to obedience but force only' Charles wrote to Hamilton in 1638, and the actions of the General Assembly of the Kirk had made probably made it inevitable. And sure the combined might of England, Ireland and Royalist Scots could do the job. Wentworth certainly thought so.

Outstanding

David Crowther makes history accessible. Unlike, for example, the massively long-running British History podcast, Crowther knows when enough is enough, walking us through history, pausing to examine that which is important. All with a wonderfully dry wit.

joyful listening and great content

David’s podcast is entertaining, fun, humorous and really interesting. I’m impressed by the historiographical research he does, and by how well constructed every episode is. it’s a really well written podcast - but it doesn’t feel “written” at all: it feels more like having a well-informed friend telling you the latest news from the 15th century, or discussing the current affairs of the 16th century over a pint... not to mention juicy Tudor-age gossip. I like how David goes from the historical narrative of the English kingdom to the broader European picture, and from historigraphy to just “tellling a great story”. His voice is really good, and he peppers the narrative with nerdy references and puns that I, for one, love. I’ve laughed aloud more than once. NOTE - if you’re a fan of Vogon poetry, this podcast is not for you. Sorry.
