EarBuds Podcast Collective: Strange Folk From History

5 podcast episodes according to a theme, curated by a different person each weekNovember 23 - 27, 2020

  CURATOR: Andy Earnshaw 

 WHY THIS THEME?: Podcasts are great for exploring history. I want to highlight some of the podcasts that explore some of the less heard about stories in the past. 

EPISODES:

 

The British History Podcast

27 minutes

This is an awesome show exploring not just the history of Britain, but the people who created that history and how it relates to us today, which is vital to understanding the past and the role of history today.

The Humanity ArchiveToussaint L'Ouverture: Revolution Now60 minutes

The start of a fantastic series on the first and only successful slave rebellion in history. Haiti became the second, independent republic in the Americas (after the U.S.), which prompted 200 years of racist dismissal that has left Haiti as the poorest country in the Western hemisphere.

The Dirt PodcastThe Dirt Digs Pride56 minutesThe Dirt is a fantastic show about living life as an archaeologist, and this episode highlights the diverse nature of archaeologists today and also people throughout history. Noble BloodThe Blood Sacrifice of the Tang Emperor30 minutesThis show explores some of the dark and depressing stories of nobles behaving badly. This episode shows just how dangerous being attractive was in the past.  Old BonesCladh Hallan - Bronze Age Mummification and Frankenstein's Scottish Monsters40 minutesExplore with me one of the oddest burials to have ever been found in the British Isles. 

 GET IN TOUCH: Twitter  SELF PROMO: Old Bones is a podcast that explores the past, one skeleton at a time. Each episode we take a burial or cremation and use that as a jumping-off point to explore the world in which this person or people lived. This season, we're in exploring the Early Medieval period of Britain, trying to understand what happened in Britain after the Romans left.
