David Crowther's History of England podcast is the first one I ever listened to. It is very special to me. He is witty and super knowledgeable and taught me all the particulars about each stage of history in England from the Anglo Saxon period on. He admits when he is biased and does it all with humor. He has been on a hiatus for several months and this week has picked up with all new episodes.
Season 9, Episode 1 (432A overall) begins with the Sun King, and the restoration in England. Crowther started in his shed on his private property just doing his thing (and sometimes his children joined him) and now has a successful show teaching us all the history of his country. His Facebook page also has fun things such as places he visits while on vacation and challenges.
Recently I took part in his "who was the greatest Welsh ruler of all" and it was fun if you are a history buff. He and his Welsh born friend went through different stages of Welsh history and had listeners vote. Of course, Llywelyn the Great won.
The additional website is a trove of information too. You can subscribe for a yearly fee and have access to more shows such as The History of Scotland and resources to further your knowledge. There is a lot of good stuff on there.
I love promoting my favorite podcasters and so I'm excited to announce his return. It should be a fun filled fall/winter with all new episodes taking us through the mid-1600's and beyond.
