History Unplugged Podcast
For history lovers who listen to podcasts, History Unplugged is the most comprehensive show of its kind. It's the only show that dedicates episodes to both interviewing experts and answering questions from its audience. First, it features a call-in show where you can ask our resident historian (Scott Rank, PhD) absolutely anything (What was it like to be a Turkish sultan with four wives and twelve concubines? If you were sent back in time, how would you kill Hitler?). Second, it features long-form interviews with best-selling authors who have written about everything. Topics include gruff World War II generals who flew with airmen on bombing raids, a war horse who gained the rank of sergeant, and presidents who gave their best speeches while drunk.

15 hr workweek

I do like the podcast a lot. From time to time it goes a little left for me in revisionist history, CSA for example. Well, nice educated Englishman seems to make some good well-rounded points but seriously an ancient 15 hr. work week is ridiculous. Has he ever been camping / survival trek like the Indias did for Brave initiation, alone with limited supplies or no food. It’s sunup to sundown work. Utopian & socialist academic stuff. However, great point on effective tasks being focused, done quickly in one fell swoop. Yes indeed. Agree, being in an office tower at a desk for 9 hrs. is not healthy for us.

The episode on the Christian Bible is simplistic and misrepresented. Codex and printing were dependent upon literacy originating with the Jews. See Botticini, et al. “The Chosen Few” for a more accurate history. Jewish communities had 90 o/o literacy whereas early Christian had 10o/o. The book in conversation through the Reformation was the Hebrew Bible or Torah which influenced the antagonism and hatred of the early Church beginning with Constantine. Later the Dutch Republic and the American Puritans focused on Torah not Christian Scripture. Likewise with other cultures in North America.
This podcast is awesome

I've learned about so many moments in history that I was never taught in school or college. I look forward to every new episode and enjoy going back 4-5 years to episodes I had not yet listened to. For example. The recent story on General Geoffrey Keys, was such a moment of learning. I enjoy these on my long commute to work.
Consistently Interesting and Relevant
