The Other Half: The History of Women Through the Ages
Women make up half of the world's population, and yet history books often consign them to the sidelines. They are dismissed as merely the wives of powerful men; babymakers and nothing more. Yet women have been the driving force behind history for millennia, from female Pharoahs, warrior princesses and pirates, to the revolutionaries who sought to topple the male-dominated political systems of their day. From host of the popular 'Queens of England Podcast', The Other Half tells the forgotten and ignored stories of the most powerful and influential women in history. Hosted on Acast.

Favorite, longest-listened podcast

I’ve been listening to this podcast longer and more consistently than just about any other podcast that I’ve ever enjoyed. I’ve been listening since the host’s previous Queens of England podcast, and getting to always hear such in-depth, well-researched discussions of historic women and their times always keeps me coming back. So grateful for this show!
Podcasting at its best

I thoroughly enjoy every episode and love learning about each woman featured. Whether James shines light on a lesser known figure or gives a new take on some of history's most notorious females, this show will not disappoint. Each story is well-researched and very cohesive, yet has enough of a lively narrative to keep you engaged the whole time. Well worth your time. I'm not surprised, as Mr. Boulton's Queens of England podcast was my first foray into the medium almost a decade ago, and I've been hooked ever since.
Interesting but stiff

Wish the host would relax so the podcast didn’t feel so rehearsed
Good content, bad editing.

I enjoy the show very much - it’s so well researched and presented. However the editing is sometimes quite glitchy which makes it difficult to listen to.
