Episode 1: An All Consuming Need for Tea

You manage to hold a fantastic balance between the grand scheme and the human stories which make up history :) can’t wait for your next history stuff!

Heard the first of this series and it was very well done. Look forward to finishing.

This content is outstanding, I so badly want more history content from you.

Yeah we haven't had a History Pod in awhile, I'm hoping there's one in the future.

Thanks for resharing Slacky! Never realised you did history podcasts when I first signed up, will be making my way through the others now. Absolutely loved learning about the Taiping Rebellion which I'd never heard of! Keep it up!

Never heard these before & they're fantastic! Would love it if mini-series like this were a regular occurrence

Anyway to listen to these on mobile? They seem stuck in a web based player and the download link doesn’t work.

Audio always continued to play for me on the Fight primer page it links to even with the screen off

Oh good I thought I was just too dumb to find it. Glad it wasn't just me.

Hello Jack, I really enjoyed the history episodes! The Pride and early MMA stuff helped to put everything today in context. Keep Up the great work.

Hey Jack. Any chance you are gonna continue the history of boxing's heavyweight title? It seems to stop at Sonny Liston was the Devil and I was hoping for a more in-depth Ali episode.
