TRAILER: The Classics Podcast Does...Ancient History A Level

Katrina chats to James Renshaw, Ancient History teacher, author and host of The Classics Podcast Does...Ancient History A Level, about what you've got to look forward to in this brand new series designed to support A Level students and their teachers, and educate and entertain anyone who is interested in Ancient History! Two-part episodes will be released, starting on Wednesday 23 November - make sure you follow or subscribe to The Classics Podcast and turn on notifications to be the first to hear new material. 

James and his expert guests, including Professor Paul Cartledge and Dr Rosie Wyles, will be discussing some of the key events, themes, sources and debates in the OCR Ancient History A Level.

This season features six episodes on Greek history, and explores the three interpretation questions on the syllabus, centred on the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, and three key types of source that feature prominently in the course - Attic inscriptions written and preserved on stone; the comic plays of Aristophanes; and the biographies of  Plutarch (who is also an important source for the Roman Republic Depth Study).
