  1. http://thehistorychicks.com/
    A podcast about women throughout history, with interesting details and not too heavy. I haven’t listened all of the episodes, but the ones that I have were pretty nice.

    (Also hello i’m reading from madrid, spain, i’m a big fan, keep up the good work)

  2. I would add the British History Podcast and The History of Rome/ Revolutions. In Particular Revolutions has a great run on the French Revolution and the BHP does a nice job of getting into the nitty gritty of “dark ages” Britain.

  3. There is a podcast I LOVE called ‘The History Chicks’. It is two women talking for about an hour each episode about a different woman in history every time! It’s great because they only talk about women, mainly only mentioning men when they are relevant to the story, instead of the other way around! They cover a range of women, including a fictional one every series! You must check it out if you are interested in history at all. :)
    But now I can’t wait to check out some of these new ones here! :)

  4. Other than here, I go to several blogs with history topics.
    TheDreamstress.com, a historical costumer and teacher.
    TheHistoryBlog.com which is heavy on extant documents, artifacts and sites as well as issues on politics, preservation, restoration, and crimes involving historical objects.
    and twonerdyhistorygirls.blogspot.ca which are geeks doing the squee regularly.
    A lot of my favourite sites have gone dark or link dead in recent years which is frustrating.

    1. I was going to include Two Nerdy History Girls, but somehow forgot! And I know Kendra keeps up on The Dreamstress (I pop in every so often, but don’t follow her heavily). Haven’t heard of The History Blog, though… Thanks for the rec!

  5. I also recommend Liz Covart’s Ben Franklin’s World, which is a weekly podcast interviewing various historians about their work but is intended for a non-academic audience: http://www.benfranklinsworld.com

    Episode 21 was with Eugene Tesdahl who is a history professor in Wisconsin and a reannactor and sometimes teaches his class in historical clothing and talked about doing this during his interview. And in a moment of true disclosure, the February 16 episode is an interview with me about my research on sexual misconduct trials in colonial New England.

      1. Thank you! It was taped almost two months ago so I’m looking forward to having it out in the world. Like Eugene, I also sometimes teach my college classes in historical clothing and I am currently trying to figure out whether there are more of us doing this- do any of you know of anyone else?

          You mean more podcasts by people who teach history? Or more historians teaching history of clothing? Or something else…? I’m kind of brain fried right now, so I apologize!

          1. Sorry on the poor phrasing (my brain is equally fried). I’m working on an article about teaching history while wearing clothing from the time period being taught which got me wondering whether there are any other history professors who do this and Eugene is the only other one I know of.
