The Rest Isn't History at The University of Exeter

What’s This Podcast
About?

Following the footsteps of the UK's greatest history podcast, the Archaeology and History Department at the University of Exeter (probably the best university in the world) has banded together to explore the new research and burning questions raised by our own world-leading historians and archaeologists. We'll be exploring topics from ancient to modern history, the role of public history, and the rewards and challenges of working in academic history. Episodes are often (but not always) hosted by Dr John Lidwell-Durnin (modern history), and we'll aim to add around 5 new episodes every term. Remember to like and subscribe, and you can learn more about our Department here. Produced by John Lidwell-Durnin, Marcus Webb, and Digital Humanities at the University of Exeter. Promotion by Teya Cankhurt.
