AGE OF VICTORIA PODCAST

The Victorians were the first truly world wide, high speed, high tech civilisation, but they are often misunderstood. Your host, Chris Fernandez-Packham, will bust popular myths, cover events around the world, and focus on a people centric history. You will see how the Victorians shaped the world, changing it from the age of horse, musket, cannon and sail to the age of steam, rifle and iron in this monthly podcast with regular special episodes and bonus content. You will learn about Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, Volcanoes, Famines, great art, geography and so much more. You will discover how the Victorians changed our landscapes, and mastered new energy forms that have led us to move from being a part of the natural world to shapers of it. You will learn how the modern world was created by the actions of the Victorians. You will learn how the Victorians gave birth to our modern understanding of weather, climate, history and even time and space.

Highly recommend

Amazing podcast, picked it up this summer on a cross country trip. Upside, made the miles fly by, downside is now I am caught up on the episodes. The host is amazing; good cantor, well researched, and entertaining.
Love it!

I started listening to this a few days ago and really enjoy it. The topics are interesting and the show is well written. The host keeps your attention, and I enjoy his dry sense of humor! I thank him for all of his hard work and study!
I’ve only listened to Darwin, and I’m hooked

A very metered British accent conveys the meticulously curated research on all things Victorian. Owen really enjoyed the episodes on Charles Darwin. So much knowledge was gained during the listening of those episodes. Please give the podcast a listen if a title peaks your interest. You will not be disappointed. Victorian Periodical Parade
