You'll then find a regular, chronological podcast, starting from from the end of Roman Britain. I’m a bloke in a shed, but I make sure this is good, properly prepared history, and then fill it with my enthusiasm. You’ll find the great events and people for sure – but also some of the byways, of how people lived, their language, and the forces that shaped their lives and destinies.

Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast ever!
This is simply the best! Better than all the rest! David's sense of humor combined with how well researched and written it is, makes the show a blast. I literally laugh in public, making a complete fool of myself on a weekly basis. Listen, for the love of God!
Absolutely a must for all history lovers
This is a great podcast. David does a great job telling the complete history of England, very thorough and with serious research the story is correct and told in a balanced way, but with tons of humor and an easy style. Absolutely a must for all history lovers. Highly recommended.
The Father of All History Podcasts!
I love this podcast! I'm very impressed by his scholarship. I also love his humour and his language. It is not for people who are looking for a quick overview, but his witty tongue gets me through even the most complicated passages.
PS. I was very sad when his daughter failed to appreciate his nomination, but I was relieved when it was confirmed that if her boyfriend ever wanted to kill David, she would tell! :-)
